Dearest
Mrs. Sayre has engaged an excellent Swede nurse who was with the Sayres for several months. She is now in Sweden but is due to arrive here the first of October. Mrs. Sayre will not want her because she has one that she prefers to keep and does not need two, and would be glad for us to have her. From her description I believe that she would fill our requirements. Dr EP Davis recommends her highly. She is about twenty five years old—more adaptable than one older—trained in a baby hospital—very clean; carries out orders to the letter, and always prompt on the hour.
I went to see the Japanese nurse, but am not over enthusiastic after consideration. Ryder at the Dispensary tells me that he believes that he can get a nurse that will suit fine. She is about forty years old. The kind we would want to keep.
Diggs has not yet connected with Edward Frazier, but hopes to see him this afternoon. Last night was very amphibious, but it might be worse. Certainly enjoyed our visit Saturday & Sunday, so did the Judge.—Hope to see you Saturday or Sunday.
