Due to my\nabsence from National Handouarters I have not been able to reply to\neither.\nMadame deBisping has returned to Washington,\nstated that she saw you in San Francisco and said that you had very\nuncomfortable quarters on the Logan. It is too bad, for the discomforts\nof a sea voyage are frequently enough in themselves without the complica-\ntion of uncomfortable quarters.

Hill and tried to impress hi with the fact\nthat Dr. Sand should not interfere with the detail management of the\nNursing Service, and that Miss Olmsted should have the proper assistance.\nIn the courselef conversation Miss Olasted evidently conveyed the impress-\nion to Miss Hay, that no changes in the plans or programs were made, and\nthat her title as Director of Nursing was not used until they were assured\nthat you were not returning.
