CHRISTIAN COUNTY CHAPTER
AMERICAN RED CROSS
A.E. C. MAIL ROOM
EAST SEVENTH STREET
RECEIVED
HOPKINSVILLE, KENTUCKY
April 28,1938
MAY PAU 2

Referred To
Ps
Miss I. Malinde Havey
National Director
Public health Nursing and
Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick
American National Red Cross
Washington, D. C.
My dear Miss Havey:
I am in receipt of your letter of April twenty-second.
My plans have been changed since I applied for the
course for teacher S in Home Hygiene and Care of the
Sick which is to be given at Peabody College this
summer. Since I will not return to Hopkinsville and
continue in Red Cross work here I decided perhaps it
would be better for me to persue another course of
study. And too in looking back over my credit slip
from Peabody I recalled having had a similar course in
Home Hygiene and Practice Teaching while studying public
health in 1928.
I saw Miss Potts for a brief conference just prior to
receiving your letter and talked with her regarding the
change. She advised me to do so since I do not know
definitely what I will be doing after I leave Peabody,
and may not have an opportunity to teach regular Home
Hygiene classes. I intended to write you of my change
of plans. However, Miss Potts already knows about it
and has noted the change on my file.
In regard to my work with Red Cross I would like to
state that I have enjoyed it and my contacts with Head-
quarters have been most satisfactory. I trust that my
leaving this chapter will not entirely server my con-
nections with Red Cross.
I
Very sincerely yours,
D.
