Two years eem to roll by more quickly than they\nused to, de they not? In that case I am sending & recommenda-\ntion to the Claims Committee in favor of the third year. Then\nI last saw you,you secmed so far from well that 1 am sure\nshould have it and I am hoping very duch that the Claims Com- you\nmittee will feel it possible to continue it.\nBy the way 1 took my Nightingale Medal to\nhave a clasp put on, but the that we use\nthe tmo little gold prongs that are already on it, stating -\nthat I sm not trying to have mine affixed.\nthat it was too small upon which to put a safety clasp, so\nYee, I expect to leave for Louisville on\nSaturday night. I rather dread it, there are 80 many big\nthings to be decided, and I feel almost too tired to approach\nany of them. The Delano hase given us so much diffi-\nculty in one way and another while 1 want to see the\nquestion settled 1 dread the approach.\nI am wondering, dear Miss Hay, if I could\nask you not to write to Miss Hinnigerode about your compenca-\ntion? I think you know Sister Lucy as well as I and her\npropensity for extravagant diecuesion, and I feel quite eure\nthat you would be pained as 1 have been by some of the things\nthat she hae said. She has criticized the Red Crose publicly,\nfor its lack of concideration for you. While I am sure that\nyou have said nothing to her that would indicate that you were\nnot pleased, etill she hae nevertheless chosen to give that\nimpression. Just why I cannot imagine. Plesse do not worry\nabout it, for we do not worry over these things, understand-\ning the situation sufficiently well to pase it over without\nmuch thought, but I thought a\"word to the wise y you know,might\nhelp matter.\nSincerely yours,\nN.H\nNational Director, Nursing Service."
