ay dear Miss Minnigerode:
Thank you very much for sending me Mise
Nora Melton's record. I em sorry that you went to the trouble of
getting this from her se me already have all of this on file. It
was a statement 8.8 to her condition when employed by the U.S. Public
Health Service - providing that was the service that she was with -
that we needed in order to complete the evidence.
If you will be good enough to give me the
full namee of Miss Barton and Mies Jenninge I will be very glad,
indeed, to examine their records in order to see if either has ever
made application for assistance. The terms of our insurance, if you
will remember, required an spplication to be made within one year
after discharge from service, based upon total disability. This ineur-
ance was developed under the auspices of the Travelere Insurance Company.
Because of these tmo requirements of the Insurance Company it becomce
very difficult to deal with individuals who are nou making application
and tracing their disability to service under the American Red Cross.
#e have never questioned the fect that Miss
Welton's disability is traceable to her war service. Unfortunately
she refused to make the insurance because she wished to
work in order to complete her fifteen years of federal service, which
would enable her to secure a pension. Therefore, 5. complete record
becomes imperative at the present time in order to establish her case
on 6 satisfactory basic. It becomes.very difficult, homower, to secure
work for Mies Melton because of her deafness. lie have certain types
of work available, none of which however ehe is strong enough to
perform. This, of course, complicates the situation.
Sincerely yours,
N.H
National Director, Nursing Service.
