A. R. C. MAIL ROOM
RECEIVED
Miss Clara D. Noyes,
Director Nursing Service A.R.C.
APR 25 1989
Washington, D. C.
Referred to mayes
Dear Miss Noyes,
It is two weeks and more since I wrote you. Meantime you have
had Dr. Irons' letter, I understand, and may already have taken action
in regard to the vacancy at St. Louis. Since then, however, I have
become convinced that I should tender my resignation.
It grieves me sorely to do this, not only because the post
and the renewed associations with Red Cross were so attractive, but be-
cause it admits a physical inability that is discouraging. It is true
that I may even exceed the doctors' favorable prognosis and be ready
for a job sooner than I now think, but in justice to the work of the St.
Louis Branch, as well as to Mrs. Vaughan and to related activities, I be-
lieve this resignation is the fair thing. It may be that after a few
monthsthere will again be some phase of Red Cross work in which I can
be useful. Just now my job is to be very lazy and take the best possi-
ble care. of myself.
I will ask that this one copy suffice for you and Mrs. Baker,
and also that it acknowledge my receipt of her recent kindly letter. I
am sorry indeed that she has been ill - and with such a painful illness-
and that, at such a time, my own failure must add to her problems.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Mrs. Vaughan.
With love and appreciation,
Halen Seath Hay
