White\nRoute 1, Box 1821 B.\nOakland, California\nMy dear Miss White:\nYour letter of the 7th has been received.\nI had heard, quite incidentally, that you were not well and\nhad been obliged to return to California, but had heard\nnone of the particulars. I was a little worried about it\nall for some reason or other, but did not raise the question\nwith \"ise Eldredge 8.8 I thought I would prefer to talk it\nover with her. #hile I had a feeling that thinge were not\nquite as they should be, I had no appreciation that matters\nhad taken the turn that they have.\nI read your letter to Mies Eldredge with\na great deal of interest, as well as some concern, for it\ndoes seem astonishing that anyone would use such a high-\nhanded method without securing some advice, at least from\nthe Headquarters' Committee in advance. I will talk it\nover with Miss Eldredge when I see her.\nI an wondering if anything has been said\nto you about payment of your transportation across the\ncontinent? I wish that I might talk it over with you, but\nthis of course is impossible. I am sure you understand,\nhowever, that I am not only distressed about the matter but\nsomewhat concerned, not only on your account, but on\naccount of our Headquarters' Office, as well. If you feel\nlike writing to me, I should be glad of further information\non the incidents to which you refer rether casually in your\nletter. Let me tell you that I admire the way in which you\nhave taken the whole matter, and hope that by this time the\nunpleasant impression which you may have received, and which\nunquestionably was a shock to you is gradually fading out\nof your mind.\nI am 80 glad that I came in contact with\nyou at those various meetings, for it has given me as a\nDirector of the American Nurses' Association the right to\nsay that I know from personal contact that you measured up\nin every possible way. With best wishes, and hoping to\nhear from you soon, I am\nVery sincerely yours\nn.k\nNational Director, Nursing Service\n6914"
