didn’t know WHO to ask). Navy Regional Data Automation Center Publ., Norfolk,

- erk__ 2y agoThere seem to exist a copy at the University of Virginia, School of Nursing: https://nursing.virginia.edu/nursing-history/collections-cnhi/individual-collections/graham-collection/ https://nursing.virginia.edu/nursing-history/collections-cnh... So it may be possible to either ask them or go there and get a scan of it.
- erk__ 2y agoI have sent them a mail about it and will update somewhere if I hear back. Update: I have heard back and should have a scan of it soon.
- erk__ 2y agoI got sent the scan which was very nice of them. The paper is pretty interesting and contains some good information from the time. https://archive.org/details/slater-1982 https://archive.org/details/slater-1982
