from her letter follow:
Sept. 1, 1917.
My dear Mrs. Blanchard,
I have bo ofton thought of you
and the earnest ladies Of the Sksg
;way Red Cross and my very pleas
ant and unexpected meeting with
you. I hope the hurried sugges
tions I had the privilege and
pleasure Of making to you proved
as helpful as I would wlgh, them
to have bean.
On my return to Seattle, I found
the work I started there on my way
to Alaska, in a very encouraging
and flourishing conditon.
I have been at work in the Red
Cross headquarters here and Bhall
remaifi for a time in this city. Later,
I may go to Washingtn to enter the
Red Cross work at the National
Headquarters and shall hope to be
Of some real assistance in the great
need for the surgical drssings.
It is quite possible that you
may have already heard from the
Washington headquarters about the
latest changes in the supplies need
ed, but knowing how long it takes
for letters to be exchanged I will
tell you that while I was in Seat
tle instructions came that there was
uo further need for the three sizes
of laparotomy pads, the three sizes
of drains and the 2x2 sponges.
Theeo need not be made any more
for the present, or uintll some spec
ial order may sometime be made
for them. The articles now needed
are the single and double compress
es, the one and three yard rolls and
the 4x4 sponges. I am sure you
will all enjoy making all of these
articles and of course the need for
them is very great.
You may long have known all
about the items regarding the Red
Cross work noted in this letter, but
if so, I am sure you will pardon
the repetition and will know that
my interest in your progress is the
paramount ooject of my writing and
I would oe exceedingly glad to hear
from you and to know how you
aTe getting on. If there Is any
thing I can assist you about, please
do not hesitate to ask.
Please convey my most cordial
greetings to the ladles I met so
pleasantly during those brief and in
teresUng hours with you, and most
earnestly do I hope for your great
success in your ardent endeavor to
aid in the tremendous need of hu->
inanity in this crisis.
Wit:i kindest regards to yourself,
believe me
Yours very sincerely,
Mrs. C. M. Wilkes.
