My dear Miss Bethune:-
I have been requested by Miss Noyes
to inform you that your application for foreign service has
been approved by the War Department.
May I request that you secure a copy
of your birth certificate, or, if this is impossible, an
affidavit from some member of your family older than yourself.
Will you please have, also, three dozen photographs taken,
the head size to be 1" x 1 1/4" with no hat on.
I am enclosing three copies of the
affidavit which must be made by you and taken with you when
you make application for the passport. You will then proceed
to apply for the passport for service in England and France.
This letter constitutex fully all endorsement for your
application for the passport.
You should, at once, make such appli-
cation to the clerk of the United States District Court,
Pittsburgh, Penna., or to the Court in whose jurisdiction your
witness resides. By order of the State Department you are
to instruct the clerk of the Court to send your passport
application to the Department of Personnel, American Red Cross,
Washington, D. C., whence it will be forwarded with the War
Department's letter of approval to the State Department.
Sincerely yours,
2
Director, Bureau of Nursing.
