April 25, 1918.
Miss Alma E. Wrigley,
Secretary Pasadena Chapter, A.R.C.
Pasadens, Calif.
My dear Miss Wrigley:
I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of April
11th with enclosed clipping.
The Chapter Student Course as organized by you appears to possess
very admirable qualities, and I am sure is worthy of general adoption.
I have sent your papers to the War Department with the recommenda-
tion that you are willing to take the Chief Nurse's examination.
I fool sure you appreciate the point I wished to make
in regard to your possible appointment.
When political influence is
used in behalf of a nurse or on the part of a nurse, it cahnot help but
react unfavorably and place her in a false position, making her appear to
depend more upon influence than upon merit.
I appreciate that the average individual can rarely see the situation
from the ethical standpoint of a nurse. Their interest is very frequently
a matter of great embarrasement to a professional worker as they are apt to
place undue emphasis upon social and financial influence.
I do not question the good intentions of your friends, but I feel sure
you will agree that through their efforts you were at least placed in a
position that required explanation.
Believe me as
Very truly yours,
Director, Bureau of Field Nursing Service.
