Your letter of April the 15th in regard to Miss Margaret
a
Thomas has been received.
I have never met Miss Thomas, but I know a good deal about
ach
her through correspondence. When I was in the Midwestern area we had con-
siderable difficulty with her in Montana because she wanted to teach the
course in two or three weeks as she travelled about the state. She has
been with Mrs. Blakely in Oregon for the last few months. Early in this
assignment she started to do a little Home Hygiene development on her own
initiative and tried to get a Red Cross chapter to pay a nurse, who was not
particularly well qualified or interested to do the work. Evidently my
letter to her on this occasion discouraged her for I heard nothing more of
her activity along Home Hygiene lines.
a
I understand that Miss Thomas is/very aggressive, selfconfident
person, and is quite difficult to deal with. It might be well for her to
take the Teacher Training course at Fort Collins in order to learn how the
work should be conducted. However, I am afraid that she will constitute a
rather disturbing element in the group unless Miss Norlin knows how to curb
a person of her type.
Miss Thomas wrote to me in January in regard to a position
in this area. I was surprised to hear that she had located in Wyoming.
Sincerely yours,
Timaziting

Assistant National Director
