July 5, 1916. Miss Anna L. Tittman, State Capitol, Springfield, III. My doar Mise Tittman: Your letter of inquiry in regard to the Red Cross uniforms has recently been received and may I thank you for your willingness to have these uniforms available. The Red Cross had adopted the gray crepe as a permanent uniform but owing to the im- possibility of securing sufficient crepe, it has been decided that should there be a cell for servido, to allow the nurses to wear the usual white uniforms worn by graduates. Low neck and short sleeves will not be allowed. Caps, capes and brass-ards will be supplied by the Red Cross, without charge. It is possible that we will hold these crepe uniforms and issue them from this office to nurses assigned for relief work. Will you kindly inform the nurses who have purchased the uniforms or material that the Red Cross will refund the amount paid if they will return the same to this office? Challatan National Committee, Red Cross Nursing Service. R/G21
