Miss Catherine J. Wilson
26 Hillborn Avenue
Swarthmore, Pennsylvania
My dear Miss Wilson:
I am answering your letter of February 15 regarding army
service. I know of no reason why your admission to the Army Nursing
Corps would be affected by your marital status. However, any legal
proceedings might be interrupted by your not being available after
entering service, which may be of interest to you if you have already
started proceedings.
You are in the Third Service Command, the headquarters of
which are in Baltimore. We are sending your Army card to Captain
Alice D. Agnew, telling her that you are available for service. You
will therefore hear from her about arrangements for appointment, phy-
sical examination and so forth. lie are sending your card to the Army
under the name of Catherine J. Wilson, but recording your marital
status as "married."
If you go into Philadelphia I would suggest that you see
Miss Elizabeth L. O'Neill, Executive Secretary Local Committee, Red
Cross Chapter Headquarters, 511 North Broad Street.
Let me know if there is further information which we can
give you.
With all best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
Virginia M. Dunbar
Assistant Director, Nursing Service
