My dear Miss Harvard:
F
The assignment for which we wish to consider you is for service with
S
an amergency civilian hospital on the Island of Kauai, one of the Hawaiian
Island group. However, we would like you to realize that, due to the un-
predictable nature of foreign service, you would be expected to agree to
serve wherever requested and in whatever capacity the exigencies of the
situation demanded.
In order to determine your eligibility at the present time it will be
necessary to have your physical examination approved by our Red Cross medical
advisor. Please arrange for a thorough examination as a foreign assignment
would be unwise unless your physical eundition is now excellent. We urge that
you take the responsibility of impressing your physician with this fact.
Select your own physician and inform him that the Red Cross is prepared to
pay for your examination, not to exceed $5.00. His bill, if there is one,
should be submitted to this office in care of the Nursing Service. The required
immunizations are smallpox, triple typhoid and tetanus toxoid. If you have
not been vaccinated recently for smallpox, it would be wise to have a repeat
vaccination. As both the tetanus and typhoid innoduations are givenin a
series covefing several weeks, it would be advisable for you to start these
immunizations as soon as you have word from us that you are physically qualified
to receive an appointment. Your teeth should be in good condition so that you
will not be in need of any immediate dental work.
Although we want to get you ready for departure as soon as possible, do
not give up your present position until we are sure that your physical con-
dition is approved and more final arrangements are made. If you wish to talk
the situation over with your employer to determine your possible release date
so that arrangements can be made for your successor, that is, of course, up to
you.
There are a number of forms which you will have to fill out and return in
order to have all of your credentials in order. Vie are enclosing a few of them
with this letter. Please return those which need to be filled in as soon as
W
possible.
