    "ocrText": "November 10, 1930\nMr. .Barclay Acheson, Exec. Secy.,\nNear East foundation,\n151 Fifth Avenue,\nNew York City.\nMy dear Mr. Acheson:\nI was greatly interested in your letter of\nNovember 8, and hastened to write immediately to Miss Teal,\nquoting your last two paragraphs in order that she might be\nbetter informed of the situation.\nIf you could send two nurses, that I think\nwould be highly desirabbe, for unquestionably there will be ample\nwork for two with the school and the development of the public\nhealth nursing field. Naturally, Miss Teal would be somewhat\nhandicapped because ofher inability to speak the language, on the\nother hand she is not a person who is entirely dependent upon\nsociety. I believe if you could send another nurse with her that\nshe might be willing to undertake the work. If Miss MacFetridge\nWES able to live alone, as she did at Erivan with no Americans\nabout her, I believe it would be quite possible for two American\nnurses to live happily, in what you speak of as \"this isolation.\"\nMiss Teal lives at the following address -\n7342\n3749 Mitchell Street, Kendallville, Indiana, - and would perhaps\nbe willing to go to New York to see you. She is 8 very attractive\nperson in many ways and I know you would like her immensely.\nPhe should, however, thoroughly understand the conditions under\nwhich she would work, her relation to the Near East Foundation,\nand also to the local governmental groups, etc. With best wishes,\nI am\nSincerely yours,\nn.h\nNational Director, \"ursing Service."
