My dear Miss Noyes:
Miss Linda Richards is a patient at the
New England Hospital for Women and Children, and
we think will live only a short time. We are,
therefore, assembling tributes and other material
relative to her life and work for the American
Journal of Nursing.
I am writing to ask if you, as Director
of the American Red Cross Nursing Service, will
be willing to send me a short tribute relative to
some phase of her life and work with which you
may be acquainted. I am finding it very difficult
to get such material together since so many of
Miss Richards' contemporaries have passed away.
She is in her 89th year, and I suppose without
doubt bears the distinction of being the first
woman to graduate as a nurse in America.
Miss Richards was brought to this hospi-
tal about a month ago, and seems to be failing in
strength from day to day We are, therefore, mak-
ing a great effort to have considerable data on
hand for publication at the time of her death.
Very sincerely yours,
function Superintendent N Callon
