Miss Mary C. Houston
American Red Cross
Washington, 13, D.C.
Dear Miss Houston:-
Your March 12th letter has just been received.
Thank you for the announcement that my application has been
approved by the Red Cross Committee.
I could plan to arrive in Washington on Tuesday,
March 20th and would be glad to offer my full time services where
ever needed until such time that the UNRRA or the Chinese ministry
of Health appointment becomes effective. Dr. J. Heng Liu of the
Chinese Supply Commission thinks it is more likely that the latter
one will come first. However, it will probably not call for my
services before July first.
It is only fair that I should tell you the
only question in my mind at this time. Our Board pays us a
furlough salary of $116.00 per month. This includes room rent.
Would it be possible to secure a room in Washington, say for $25.00
per month? And where? The only alternative would be to commute
to Baltimore, but that would also be expensive.
Your kind consideration of my offer and the
problem connected with it will be appreciated by
Sincerely yours,
Lysic Riich
