The management of the Brattleboro
Memorial hospital received notice from
Miss Anna p. Barrett Saturday that she
had decided not to resume her position
as superintendent of the institution. Miss
Barrett received, some three weeks ago,
a call to become superintendent of the
Howard hospital in Philadelphia, where
she was head nurse eight years, before
coming to Brattleboro. She went away
with the intention to accept the position
but without stating positively that she
would do so, and the management of the
Memorial hospital had hoped that she
might decide to return to Brattleboro.
Miss Barrett performed her duties in
Brattleboro efficiently and faithfully, and
all connected with the hospital regret
her decision to remain at the head OF
the Philadelphia institution.
