    "ocrText": "Miss Marguerite Wales\nMarch 31, 1942\nEastera Area\nAttention: Miss Bonham\nMrs. Laura Nolton Turner\nMarie Peterson\nVassalboro, Maine\nIn a letter I received from Mrs. Laura Nolton Turner\nshe requests some information on equipment for one of the lessons\nin the Home Nursing Program. Quoting from her letter\n\"Am I ancient in every respect? The always tried where\na Chapter was having a number of Home Nursing classes and expected\nto have a real Home Nursing program to have at least a dodl and\nlayette for the lesson on the baby. Waterville Chapter has had 12\nclasses in the city, several in its branches and when I asiced for a\ndoll for my class said they would consider getting one. Today they\ntold me the other classes had borrowed or something and that they\nmight get one but the Chairman had not yet ordered it. I got the\nimpression Miss Torrens did not feel it was a necessity. . Perhaps\nI am wrong and perhaps National no longer requires one. Can you tell\nme about this?\nI am trying to teach a class of middle aged well educated\nwomen and I'm wondering why I ever WES so foolish as to undertake\nit. But its all for the cause and I guess I can finish it.\"\nMarie Peterson\nAssistant to Director\nMP/mcb\nNursing Service"
