    "ocrText": "Z\nChicAgo,\nCh\n+1\ns\nFebruary 15, 1935\nMiss Christine Nuno\nSt. Luke's International Medical Center\nTokyo, Japan\nMy dear Miss Nuno:\nYour letter of December 27th, enclosing Mr. Zydeman's\ncommunication, has been received. As it is \"water under the bridge\"\nnow it is very little I can do about it, especially as you probably\nknow that Judge l'ayne died on the 24th of January and was buried\non his eightieth birthday, on the 26th.\nI am quite sure that Judge Payne felt that he had\nappointed you on the advisory group. Apparently Mr. Zydeman, or\nwhoever he consulted, were not aware of the fact that provision has\nalways been made at these Conferences for advisory delegates and any\nnumber may be appointed. Mr. Zydeman was not particularly familiar\nwith the League of Red Cross Societies and its operations, evidently\nmisunderstood the situation. I an deeply sorry and I know Judge\nPayne would regret it for he told me right away of the action he had\ntaken.\nI was interésted to hear that Marion Arnold was Secretary\nto the Japanese Ambassador. Some day I will try and get in touch with\nher. I recall calling up the Embassy sometime ago to see if they\ncould suggest suitable quarters for two Japanese nurses who were\nvisiting Washington, not yours however, and was gratified with the\nprompt service given, as well as by the practicability of her sugges-\ntions and courteous minner.\nI am looking forward thth great deal of pleasure to play-\ning contract with you. I do not play bridge any longer. Contract is\nthe successor to bridge, based on the same game but far more interest-\ning. If you do not know how to play it you must learn.\nI was glad to hear that the National Society of mursing\nimproving. Ultimately they will probably come out all\nright but I am sure it is going to take a lot of assistance from you\nand I know that Miss Hagiwara appreciates your assistance, especially\nyour coaching at the National Convention.\nto\n2"
