NEW ENGLAND DIVISION
Miss Virginia Gibbes
Director, Nursing Service
December 18, 1924.
Elizabeth G. Fox, Director,
Public Health Nursing Service
Your letter of "ovember 29th telling us that Miss Munn
could not accept a position in the New England Division and bringing
forward the name of Mies Ada Holden Stafford, Badge #29467, got tb the
bottom of my basket and I have just run actoss it. I am awfully sorry
about Miss Munn for I heard she is a cracker-jack and would be a grest
addition to our staff.
thank
I have just looked up Miss Stafford'e history and em sorry
to
say it doesn't sound very promising. She was with the Red Croes in
Siberia and her report reads as follows:
Nursing ability - fairly good
Manner: in performance of duty - discontented, slow,
interfering
Relation with co-workers - indifferent
Aptitude - good
After her return to this country we apparently had quite a little
difficulty with her about the return of her Red Cross equipment. Whether
she meant to be unpleasant or whether she just kept forgetting to take care
of the matter I do not know, but at any rate we had to write her several times
before she fimally returned her equipment.
Her training school credential is entirely non-committal, the
questions about personality, initiative, etc., being left unanswered.
On the shole, from what we know about her here she certainly doesn't
sound like the kind of person we need in the field and unlese you have gury
different credentials which make ours seem one-sided, I don,t believe you will
want to consider her.
