I understand that she\ncomes from a very good family in Pittsburgh,\nPennsylvania, and that she intends to cable\nher father from Honolulu to meet her in San\nFrancisco. I BH not notifying Miss White of\nthis affair, as I feel that it would only add\nto Miss Wilson's embarrassment. We will see\nthat she is placed in safe hands for the\nvoyage.\nCO\nI have asked Miss Wilson to return\nher pin and Red Cross Nurses membership card\nto me. She reported that she did not bring\nher card with her, and that she has sent her\npin to America to be repaired. She has been\ninformed that her status in the American Red\nCross Nursing Service will be finally determined\nby you. I had requested the pin and membership\ncard of her because I thought my opportunity\nfor securing them was much better than yours\nwould be in case you decided that you would\ndismiss her. I explained to her that these-were\nbeing asked for only pending the decision in\nWashington. Miss Wilson expects to make a trip\nto Washington and will probably use considerable\ninfluence to remain upon the roll. She mentions\na Senator who is a friend of hers, to whom she\nexpects to explain her case.\"\nWill you not be good enough to send us at the very earliest\npossible moment, a statement setting forth what you know about Miss Wilson's\nand conduct, and whether or not you think the charges made above were\nthoroughly substantiated, and if there was any excuse for the same.\nWe will appreciate a reply at the earliest possible date as\nwe\nare\nmost\nto\ntake\nsome\naction\nin\nthis\nMD:JF"
