Miss Charlotte Van Duzor,
Pond Street,
Franklin, Mass.
My dear Miss Van Duzor:
Indeed I am just the person to bother with
the problem you have put up to me, that of getting you a second-
hand typewriter. I have not been able, thus far, to get in touch
with Mr. Turner who has this matter in hand, but have written him
a
note explaining your need, and as soon as I hear from him I will
let you know. I certainly think it was a piece of bad luck, your
losing your typewriter in Boston, but you certainly were trusting
in that wicked old town of Boston, to leave anything about that
could be stolen. Did you ever hear of my experience in this same
old new England city? While at the Hotel Bellevue and while speak-
ing for the American Red Cross Roll Call, a very handsome silver
cigarette case was stolen from my uniform cost pocket. Can you
imagine anyone bad enough to steal a cigarette case from a Red
Cross nurse, especially when it was in the pocket of her uniform.
So you see I also have my impressions of Boston.
It must be very beautiful these Spring days
up in your part of the country, I know it all so well and have the
hazy impression that I have driven through Franklin. Washington
is in its full summer dress, and is very beautiful. I imagine you
must Devat least three weeks behind wa when it comes to Spring
weather. Miss Holmes almost guessed it when she asked "if you were
writing no that I could read it. . However, I have succeeded I think
in deciphering every word of your letter. We often tal about you
two girls, and your ambitions and your energy, and I think the
description of your new venture in the latest number of the Entre
Nous is most delicately put. Miss Noyes is out of town for a few
days and we expect her back Saturday. She starts off again the
middle of the next week, and on Tuesday of the week following visits
New Bedford to make the Graduating Address in Miss Nevins* Hospital,
St. Lukes.
Assuring you that I will let you know as
soon as possible about the typewriter, also assuring you that it
will not be a Corona, and with love to both of you, I am
Yours very sincerely,
Ida F. Butler,
Assistant to the National Director,
IFB-k
Red Cross Nursing Service.
