Dear Miss Abrams:

Today I heard from Mrs. Elizabeth M. Toner
employed, I believe, at the U. S. Veterans Hospital
in Bedford. She is an applicant for civil service
examination.

It is doubtless known to the Civil Service
Commission that Mrs. Toner was a patient for drug
addiction in this institution. She made a good re-
covery and was employed as a clerical worker, ful-
filling all requirements of her position. I am in
no way able to pass upon her present medical con-
dition. However, I can vouch for her honesty and
integrity, and her ability to do an excellent day's
work.

Yours very truly,

Miriam Van Waters,
Superintendent
