Dear Mary:
On my return from a week-end trip. I find your letter of recent date and also a letter from your father, dated May 23. Your father writes as follows in regard to the Nursing School plan:
"Since Mary is naturally inclined to nursing and you and Dean Harris are of the same opinion, it seems best that Mary should change the subjects of her studies to Nursing which would arouse her interest in her college work. Of late, western medical science has made wonderful progress and I am fully aware of its usefulness. So please kindly make due arrangements with the Elmira College authorities for Mary.
This leaves us a clear road ahead, and I am counting on you to take the necessary steps, and immediately, to insure your admission to the Yale Nursing School next fall. If there are any forms connected with your admission that have to be filled out or signed by me, I shall be ready to do my part, but the prime responsibility must necessarily fall on you; so don't waste a moment in finding out everything that is required and in sending the Yale authorities--Dean [illegible], I suppose, being the natural representative-whatever data they require. Be sure to have the Elmira authorities supply a complete statement of your work at that college.
I am counting on you now to take a wholly new and more enthusiastic and cheerful attitude towards your work. Further, I am counting on you to take this summer any work that may perhaps be necessary to enable you to enter Yale in the fall with the very best preparation possible to meet and meet with high standing the requirements of the Yale Nursing School.
Faithfully yours,
