New York, April 17th 1881.
Revd M. S. Morais
Dear Sir:
I beg leave to call your attention to a Society, lately organized in this city, and called the Mount Sinai Training School for Nurses. This in-stitution has for its object the education of nurses for the sick. It provides for a class of Jewish women who hitherto have been forced to engage in less con-genial work. The Managers are especially anxious to have the attention of Jewesses directed to the advantages of the school. The pupil nurses will be boarded and lodged gratuitously in a private dwelling near Mount Sinai Hospital and will receive their training in the wards of that Hospital and from lectures and instruction given by the Superintendent of the Training School and by the Visiting and Resident Physicians of the Hospital. Before for-mally entering the School there is allowed a month of probation. A suitable allowance will be given to them for their personal expenses during the two years of the course. The nurses will have time each day for exercise and rest, every alternate Saturday, often an afternoon of leisure in the week, and a vacation of two weeks is allowed each year. At the end of their course, a diploma is given to
them and they can then command twenty dollars per week for their services in private cases.
As it is the desire of the Managers to enable Jewesses to obtain this remunerative means of livelihood, it is with this view that they write to ask you if you will be kind enough to call the attention of your congregation to the existence of the Society and explain its object and workings. It is hoped that some women of your congregation will avail themselves of this opportunity and also that you will make personal effort to bring the ad-vantages that this Society affords to the notice of such persons as you think will be glad to enter this profession, and also state that applications may be sent to Miss Rich,
Superintendent "Mt. Sinai Training School for Nurses,"
153 East 45th Street,
New York City,
N. Y.
Trusting that we may obtain a speedy answer to this appeal as the School will open on the 1st of May.
I am,
Respectfully yrs
L. I. Hendricks,
