    "ocrText": "N\nJune 9, 1936\nMiss Mary M. Roberts\nEditor, American Journal of Nursing\n50 West 50th Street\nNew York City, New York\nMy dear Miss Roberts:\nI am returning the article on Miss Noyes and\nthere are no words in which to tell you how beautiful it is. I\ndo not find any inaccuracies for I have checked with her biography\nand there is nothing which you have omitted. You will note that I\nhave filled in the number of nurses assigned to war service. I\nreally could not make any suggestions because I think the nurses\nwill, one/and all, agree that this is by far the most beautiful\ntribute to diss Noyes' memory that has been or can be paid.\nI am going to try to write a long letter to\nFlorence Johnson tonight in answer to one received from her, which\nI hope she will share with you.\nThe service in Lyme was beautiful and it was\nvery gratifying that so many of the nurses from Boston, New York,\nRhode Island and Connecticut attended. It was a perfect day, the\nkind that Miss Noyes used to call \"a Lyme day\".\nYou will be delighted to hear that yesterday\nnorning Admiral Grayson sent for me to come and see him. Feeling\nthat I was in a position to speak frankly because of my own retire-\nment in the near future, I think I game him a great deal of infor-\nmation for serious thought and consideration. Many of the things 1\ntold him he had not known. I carried to him a complete list of the\nNational Committee personnel with their addresses and you will be\nrelieved to know that he assured me that there would be no haste\nused in the appointment of Miss Noyes' successor; that he would act\nupon the advice of the National Committee that he thought the matter\nwould rest until fall at the earliest when he would, he hoped, be able\nto return to the office in better health. He is leaving today for a\nvacation.\nI have since found out that Wiss Boardman went out\nto see the Admiral in the afternoon, that she heartily agreed with\nhim on the need for careful deliberation before selecting Miss Noyes'\n2\nof"
