To the Families of Nurses on the Staff of the American
e
Red Cross-Harvard Field Hospital Unit:
I am enclosing instructions regarding mailing Christmas packages
to the nurses of the American Red Cross-Harvard Field Hospital Unit. I
would suggest that you take these instructions with you when you take
your package to be mailed so that you can be assured by the local post
office that the package is addressed in the proper way.
Although the enclosed statement, obtained from a publication of
the United States Department of Commerce, does not refer specifically-to
the nurses of the American Red Cross-Harvard Field Hospital Unit, we are
advised by the Department of Commerce officials that the nurses are
eligible under this arrangement.
A member of our staff who has recently returned from England has
told us that the following articles have been suggested by the nurses:
Tinned meats
Cold cream
Jams
Soap - toilet
Cheese
Talcum
Cookies
Side combs (small)
Dried fruit
Hair nets
Crackers
Shoe laces - white & black
Pickles
Tooth paste
Taffy
Handkerchiefs
Stick candy
Hose - white for uniform
Air mail stationery
"
tan
Books and magazines
White cotton shirts with non-wilt collars
Black uniform ties
Sincerely yours,
Mary Beard,
Director, Nursing Service.
