    "ocrText": "February 17, 1940\nMiss Virginia R. Field\nRed Cross Nurse\nWest Point, Virginia\nDear Miss Field:\nMiss Annie Slack, who is a graduate of my own school\nof nursing, and a Red Cross nurse for many years, came in to\nsee me yesterday, as she usuelly does when she is in my\nvicinity. Perhaps you have met her. She did some beautiful\npublic health nursing work in Syria after the World Wer.\nHer sister, Mrs. William Malcolm Hunter, is living\nin Duane, Virginia. Both she and her husband have been quite\nill. Miss Slack has been with them and has now taken their\nlittle girl back to her own home with her. As you know, Mr.\nand Mrs. Hunter have been having quite a hard time to get on\ntheir feet financially while they have been developing the\nfarm and truck garden in Duane. Then you went to see them\nrecently, you suggested that some government aid would be\navailable for them. At that time I am not sure whether or\nnot they accepted your suggestion. I an writing to ask if\nyou will not make a point of going to see them again soon.\nPlease don't say that I have written you about them,\nunless, of course, they ask you, in which case you can say\nthat after their sister's visit I did write saying that I\nshould be very happy indeed to hear from you about how they\nnow are, from the point of view of their health and well-being,\nand simply because of my interest in their sister and the\nsplendid work she has done in the world. Miss Slack believes\nthat when the severe winter weather is over and Mr. and Mrs.\nHunter have had a little more experience with the farm they will\nbe perfectly well able to manage for themselves, but at present\nthey certainly are now. I shall be so grateful to you for writing\nne about them.\nSincerely yours,\nMary Beard\nDirector, Nursing Service"
