    "ocrText": "N\nCL\nJanuary 4, 1935\nMiss Christine M. Nuno\nM\nSt. Luke's International Hospital\nTokyo, Japan\nMy dear Miss Nuno:\nThe very lovely print which you so kindly sent\nme as a Christmas gift was received a few days ago. It is really\nvery beautiful and I have sent it to be framed, as it was all\ntogether too lovely to lay aside. I decided sometime ago not to\nput up any more pictures, and have placed a good many in my store-\nroom, but this is all together too lovely to suffer that fate, so\nI shall make room for it on my living room wall, where I can look\nu and see it. You can almost feel the snow under the feet of\nthose pilgrims who are climbing up that long flight of stairs.\nPlease accept ny very deep appreciation not only of your thought\nof me, but of the very beautiful gift.\nThis reminds me that I had a square of silk\nfrom Miss Hagiwara. I presume it is intended to tie-up bundles,\nor possibly to be used as a three-cornered scarf. She send ne\nsomething very like it last Christmas, and while I apprecióte very\ngreatly her thought of me, I whph there was some way of heading off\nthese gifts. In the first place, I cannot reciprocate to any great\nextent, and in the second place, I know it is a tax upon her.\nHowever, I presume with the propensity of the Japanesa to give\npresents there is no way of stopping it once it was started.\nYour. Christmes card crrived with its mes age,\nand so far I have not yet seen Marion Arnold or your Japanese family.\nHowever, I presume they will be doming along in due course of time,\nespecially if they are here on Rockefeller Schôlarships, inasmuch\nas they seem to send practically all of their students hore.\nNo doubt you were glad to the last of the\nRed Cross group. Miss Boardman told me she had dinner with you; do\ntell me about it, and any details of conversation in which you think\nw\nI would be interested. The Bruces are a very nice family, old\nfriends of mine, as they used to go to Lyme for the summer, and Jim\nBruce, the son, was en interne at Bellevue when I was general\nsuperintendent. I had not heard that Mrs. Bruce had been taken ill.\nElizabeth is an exceedingly nice young woman, a graduate (as you\nprobably know) of the Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing of\nNew York."
