P.F. June 10, 1969 Mrs. Carrie L. Bible Family and Children's Supervisor Department of Public Welfare 3200 5th Avenue South P.O. Box 11269 St. Petersburg, Florida 33733 Attention: Mrs. Judy Blank Dear Mrs. Bible: On January 24, 1958, Miss Virginia B. Elliman, our Director of Nurse Enrollment at that time, wrote Miss Catherine S. Dover, 2733 12th Street North, St. Petersburg, Florida, as follows: "As you indicated on your application, your services overseas were under the American Red Cross and you were not militarized during that period. You were, therefore, not classified as a beneficiary of the Veterans Administration and would not be eligible to receive benefits such as a pension." Miss Dover was on the Red Cross payroll all during the time of her overseas service. She was not a military nurse and is not eligible for a veteran's pension. We are indeed sorry that we cannot be of assistance to her in this matter. Sincerely, Ao DURFEE (SIGNED) NORMAN Norman A. Durfee National Director Office of Personnel NAD:fmj
