I T&E delighted that you should\nreceive it and hastened to write you a letter of congratula-\ntion, you will recall, immediately. This letter for some\nreason did not reach you, but I was able later to send you a\ncopy, showing you that my intenations were of the best.\nThe method that we have employed this\ntime in submitting the names for a vote to all the members I\nthink is & wise one. #e each have e right to recommend any\nname that we choose, but I do not think that we should do so\nwithout very careful consideration of the merits in the\nindividual case. A revision of our system is clearly\nindicated and will receive attention 0.8 soon BB practicable,\nI hope this somewhat lengthy explana-\ntion of what Was really in my mind when 1 discussed the matter\nwith you will convince you that personalities did not enter\ninto the question, al the I can well see how you might have\nunderstood it in that way. I had written this yesterday\nbefore I sew you, but. as therewas no real opportunity for\ndiscussion of these points 1 em sending it on 88 I really\nwanted you to know some of my viewe. 8 always\nAffectionately,\nChairman,\nN.H\nNational Committee on R C Nursing Service"
