Nuno,\nc/o American Women's Hospitals,\nAthena, Greece.\ns\nMy dear Miss Nuno:\nI am back once more in my office at wational Head-\nquarters, and your old friend Mr. Mulhall has just been in for a\nlittle discussion, which naturally ends in a good-nstureaddiscussion\nof his adherence to technicalities and the letter of the law. However,\nhe is a very good man and I like him, Upon my return I found several\nletters from you, including the personal one which was written in reply\nto my confidential letter to you, written now sone months ago. I shall\nnot speak of it again, and I shall regard the incident as closed, and\nI hope you will.\nHowever, I de feel a bit concerned about the general\nsituation in Greece, and the /aplit betwoen the A.W.H., and the N.T.R.,\nbut I am too far away to take an active part in the discussion. One\nmust be close to a situation of this sort in order to give advice af\nan opinion which would be of the slightest value. I am a bit surprised,\nhowever, that the American nurses with the A.W.H., have frit it necessary\nto rosign. It seems to me rather unfortunate, and I fear that there will\nbe more or less criticism of because of this. After all, sick\npatients must be mursed, and wosther they are in a Hospital of the A.W.H.,\nor the N.E.R., does not alter the othical responsibility of the nurse in\nthis direction, and it dees not seem to me that they should leave these\nhospitals until they are properly covered by othor nurses, and I am sure\nsubatitutes that you course, they after how they\nwill see that remain sufficiently long to secure satisfactory\nor I have no control over the nurses\nare once assigned to another organization. I have written you, ver,\nquite frankly regarding our Agreement with the Near East Rolief, so that\nI will not speak of this again, but I feel very strongly that the N.F.R.\nshould either cancel this Agreement, or live up to the spirit as well as\nthe letter of this understanding,\nThere is cone statement in your letter of the 3lst of\nJuly, in which you state *I do not anticipate any pleasure in trying to\nW\nget the uniforms and capos out of the storehouse. It was my understand-\ning that Mrs. Heilman had supplied all the nurses of both the N.E.R.\nw\nand the L.W.H., with uniforma, in fact one of her letters some months\nago stated - that ahe had asked for a list of all the personnel.\" If\nthey have been, why should they need more? Naturally, these uniforms\nI\nshould not be used for civilians, unless they have been changed in theer\ntype and character sufficiently to be able to distinguish the lay worker\nJ\nor the aid from a membor of the nursing profession. I imagine very\n2\n0\nto\n2"
