She advised my return to the United States to\nget my marital problem straightened out. I am planning an annulment\nas soon as possible.\nFor the past five months, since the Harvard Unit disolved, I have\nbeen working with the American Red Cross Service Club in Glasgow,\nequipped the First Aid Room and did all First Aid in the club; contacted\nthe American Military patients in the hospitals in the Glasgow area;\ndid\nPersonnel Service Work, and Assistant Field Director's work.\nSince the arrival of the American Red Cross Personnel for club\nwork, in the British Isles rolieved me of most of my duties, with the\nexception of the First Aid Room, and taking care of any American Red\nCross Staff, I asked Miss Olson to rolieve me in order that I might\njoin the A.N.C.\nI am having my cape cleaned and will send it to you, I have one\nuniform, two overcoats, six white uniforms, three caps, which will be\nreturned to you if so desired. While in England, I lost my pin, the\nnumber of which is 82860, I am enclosing $1.00 and would appreciate\nyour sending me another pin.\nI enjoyed my work immensely in England and have brought with me\na\nnumber of pictures taken on my trip to England and during my stay\nin Salisbury, which I would, be glad to lend the American Red Cross if\nthey would be of benefit to their campaign, which I believe is to be\nin March. I will, also, send my Field Voucher to you as soon as it\nis completed.\nYours respectfully,\nCatherine g. Wilson\nCatherine J. Wilson, R.N.\nCopy sent there Denemore"
