There\nis a limit to the part the Red Cross can play. I feel that I have\na right to speak because I have worked, suffered and rejoiced for\nnearly two years in this service, I have felt my individual respon-\nsibility and have had the courage to speak and act when it was nec-\nessary, I have seen two of these hospitals pulled up from dirty un-\norganized places, with patients uncared for and uncomfortable, to\nclean well kept places with happy, contented and well cared for pat-\nients, this accomplished in large measure by the good work of the\nnurses on the staff. I wish you could have a picture of this place\nlast January and another of it on last Saturdays inspection. The\nlowest mark of fifty places that were rated was Ninety Five. The\nNurses have stayed all through the intense heat of summer, the ther-\nmometer since June has registered one hundred and six degrees at\nnoon very often, yet one hears no complaints from them. They have\ngained the respect of the Patients, the Personnel and the people\nof Tucson.\nWith best wishes, I am ,\nSincerely yours,\nAlma E. Wrigley/\nActing Chief Nurse."
