Nuno,\nSt. Luke's International Hospital,\nTokyo, Japan.\nMy dear Miss Nuno:\nYour letters of September 17, and 27, reached this\noffice in due course of time. I was very gla to hear about your\ntrip, and especially of your life on board the ship - what a wond rful\nexporience. TiYe sea is a beautiful place when it is calm, but how\nugly it can be when it is disturbed by a storm. I nas very glad,\nindeed, to receive the message from Miss Mathews, and also to hear\nabout your visit with Gertrude Hosmer. I am glad that Miss Aathews,\nas well as Miss Hosmer, are connected with an interesting piede of\nwork. Miss dathews is a dear and worthy of the best that can come to\nher. How 1 should love to visit the countries that you have just had\nthe privilege of passing through. Perhaps I may be able to do so at\nsometime in the future, but at present it looks highly problematical.\nI will leave the question of the selection of\npearls to zug, and if the price does not exceed fifteen or twenty\ndollars, buy them and send them to me, and I will then mail you a check.\nkour second letter, telling ne that you had reached\nTokyo, and that you had made some progress on the subject of the new\nNursing Association gave me just the information I desired. I have\nalready had a copy of this made and sent to Miss Reimann, as she should\nbe kept in close touch with what is happaning in Japan as well as Korem.\nBy the way, you will be intera. ted to hear that I am attending a\nreception this afte noon in honor of Prince Tokugawa, the President of\nthe Japanese Red Cross. He is here in this country, I prosume enroite\nto Tokyo from the International Conference.\nIf the essoci tion is formed on an individual\nmembership basis, or on the admission of Alumnae B the unit, would not\nthe Associ tion receive in due course of time adequate funds for the\nmaintenance of the organisation, as well as to pay dues to the I.C.N.\nin case they apply and are admitted? I should feel very sorry not to\nsee the Association admit foreign nurses, for we do not draw the line\nin this country - nurses of all ne tionalities, provided they are\n2"
