Dear Doris:
Your mother was down this morning and so I am writing you how I feel about Eleanor. 

Eleanor's one ambition is to become a child's nurse (or rather a nurse for children) but she left high school - she says however that there is a place in Brattleboro (some hospital) that will take them at twenty & train and that's what she hopes to do. 

She is very, very fond of little children and Meldeby

I asked her one day why she didn't go abroad and do these little tasks that she knew had to be done and she said "Aunt Al I am not in my [[strikethrough]] one [[//strikethrough]] own home and of course I can't go ahead and do in another's home. I did that for Mrs. Barrows one day as she told me I was living to take care of the children".

I think if you told her or wrote out a schedule for her it would work out O.K. She is more interested in children than house work but she can do h.w. well if she has too.
