Dear Miss Franklin

I heartily congratulate you on your success. Judging from Mrs Lawson's experience in hospitals you will be "put upon" considerably by the head and other nurses until you know the ropes; but I trust you will pull through the beginning all right. It's the same in all professions - and the "natural" thing I suppose - in the present state of society. Mrs Lawson says that things depend on the head nurse - not the matron. Anyway don't "buck" till you know where you are. Past experience should aid you now. The paltry tyrants of my life seem so very very small to me now that I can scarcely remember them. Write when you'll get a day off an[d] come on that day - says Mrs Lawson
