Waring,\nc/o Nigerian Railway\nEbute Metta, Lagos,\nNigeria, B.W.A.\nM\nMy dear Mrs. Waring#\nYour very interesting letter of April 26th\nreached my office some weeks ago. An enforced absence, however,\nhas made it impossible for me to reply before today.\nI am returning the picture, for you may wish\nto return it to the place from which it was taken. I was glad,\nhowever, to see it, as well as that which you sent me in your\nprevious letter, showing the \"three water carriers.\" If you see\nthe American Journal of Nursing, you *ill see an extract from your\nletter of January 30th. It was so interesting that I copied it\npractically verbatim.\nStrangely enough Dr. Beeuwkes married the sister\nof one of my most intimate friends - Madge Dumbell. I was writing\nto her sister Katharine, a few days ao, and took the opportunity to\ncopy your words of praise of Pr. Beeuwkes. the is known well to the\nfled Cross, for he was in charge of the medical work with the Russian\nCommission which the American Red Cross largely financed.\nBefore answering your question regarding slides,\nI consulted Mrs. I. W. Baker, who has charge of our Course in Home\nHygiene and Gare of the Sick. She suggested we send you a list that\nour Instructors use. This seems to answer almost every question\nthat anyone asks on the subject of material. Unfortunately, we have\nno set of films that would be of value to you in this particular\ncon-\nnection. I assume, would far too. adyanced It is just\nmassible thfigh something that would answer your purpose.\nCouncil; 370 Seventh Aventie,\n\"hy not write to them for their list of films and slides?\nI hope that the few suggestions I have been able\nto make will be of some assistance to you. Write to me whenever you\ncan,and whenever you have an interestóng story be sure and send it along,\nSincerely yours,\nn.h\nNational Pirector, Nursing Service.\n31822"
