lain Surses Home Johns gopkins Hospital Baltimore, M. June 19* 1348 Bear lire lie Vicar*. 1 understand that a meeting of the History of the School of Iters lug Committee is shortly to take place* As you are aware, there are personal reasons which is&ke it necessary for me to return to Canada shortly before tap USA portnit expires and 1 therefore am not in a position to ask for the privilege of oonferi*ing with the Conamittee* In my report to the Editorial Committee I have given a full aeoeunt of the ?iork accomplished to date and although this did not take the foils that had been anticipated 1 hope that the ilmmae Association will feel that a basis has been established for the history of their tm School and a contribution has been made to the hi0tory of nursing in the United States and abroad* It may facilitate the work of your committee if I make my owft position clear at this point* You will reoall that in preliminary correspondence I expressed some doubt as to whether anyone vix® ms not a graduate of your own Sohool ought to attempt to interpret its spirit and aims* I m now convinced that this doubt was justified 00 far as I afe oonoerned and must ask to he allowed to withdraw as editor* I do, hoover* feel a distinct responsibility regarding the exploration and organisation of material related to the earlier years of the Sohool — that is to say* from 186? to 1907. If your Committee wishes tm to eosrplete the task ?Mah I undertook in this area I shall he glad to do so suhjeot lo the prevailing financial arrangement* 1 quite realise that you may prefer t - Wm ineomixig editor to take over the project as a nfeeli and in tftat event 1 shall he qui' in aeoord. I shall always look haote with pleasure with the unl^pe privilege which ,1 have enjoys in heing permitted to mmim source material which few gohools are so forttnate as to -a- possess* I am most grateful to your Committee and to the Sohool of Horsing for af* fording me ao happy and stimulating an experienoe. Cordially yours Sthel Johns
