Tillson,\n101 State St.,\nNew Bodford, Mass.\nMy dear Miss Smythe:\nWe have been authorized to proceed with the second group\nof nurses for Siberia. A short time ago a letter of instruction was\nsent to you, and in addition to that we are sending you in this letter\nyour equipment card and measurement slip. It is important that you\nfill these out and send them to Miss E. E. Hawkes, Bureau of Equipment,\n222 Fourth Avenue, New York City, giving explitit instructions. regard-\ning the size you will require for hat, gloves and waists. The equip-\nment of nurses not living in New York will be sent directly to San\nFrancisco in care of Miss Lillian White.\nInstructions regarding your applying for passport will be\nissued by your Division Pirector. We have suggested that they ask all\nnurses to notify us of the date on which they make application for\npassport, and we also suggest that you notify us of the date on which\nyou return your equipment card to New York, either by letter or post card.\nDue to the limited space on the steamers it is difficult to\ngive an approximate date of your sailing. In view of this uncertainty\nwe would urge that you do not give up the work that you are doing, until\nyour instructions to proceed have been received. This may give you very\nlittle time to sale final arrangements, out may suve considerable time\nin waiting.\nUpon arrival in San Francisco you should report to Miss Lillian\nWhite at 870 Market Street, the Flood Building for further information.\nShould you arrive after 5 P.M., or on Sunday you should report directly\nto Miss White whose home address is 806-52nd Street, Oakland, and whose home\ntelephone number is Piedmont 3780 W.\nYou\nYou sho 1d take as little of your own apparel as possible, as\nthis will be shipped back to your home as soon as you have received the\nRed Cross equipment. No furs, such as scarfs, muffs, or fur coats taken. will\nbe allowed, but a knitted scarf either navy blue or khaki may be"
