| Description | A file of 22 letters to and from Nurse Sarah [Dotty] Sloan, mainly to and from Pastor F. Gracey, Cork, 1941-1943. For example: A letter from Nurse Sarah Sloan in Ilave, Southern Peru to Pastor F. Gracey, in which she refers to the fact that her maternity work with the local population had caused problems, 'the Medical Titular (Dr. in charge of the district) objected to my working there, without holding my Peruvian diploma. ...By the grace of God all my patients gave birth and were again quickly restored to health. ...The day after I arrived back in Ilave, an official deputation came to wait upon me ...pleading with me to accept the official position of ''District Maternity Nurse'' with a salary of ten pounds a month...I refused with thanks knowing that it would be a detriment rather than a help to the cause of Christ', 14 February 1942. |
