Noyes,\nNational Headquarters American Red Cross,\nWashington, D. C.\nH\nMy dear Miss Noyes:-\nS\nI have much to ask you. Yours and Miss Delano's letters of instructions\ne\nalong lines of ways and means of meeting the demand for 5,000 Red Cross nurses\nby June first, has been received, and Connecticut stands ready to contribute\nher quota, and we are wondering if you have an idea, or could give us an approximate\nnumber that you feel we should contribute at this time. I have discussed with\nother members of the Board the advisability of holding our June examination\nfor registration before the regular date. We stand ready to do this, or any-\nthing else that this urgent demand may necessitate, but in looking over the\nfield we feel that we can contribute a generous number of nurses for this drive,\nwithout having to touch our pupil body, and it seems to us that this is the\nwisest plan to pursue, in view of the enormous demand that must come to us in\nthe future.\nIt will hean an active recruiting campaign, which, by the way, we\nhave been conducting in a moderate way in connection with our Publicity Campaign\nfor recruits for our training schools. Briefly, in my tour of the State for\nthe purpose of inspection of the training schools, we have made it a point to\nreach the Alumni Associations of many of our hospitals  with an appeal for\nenrollment for active service. This work has been some what limited, because\nof the fact that is is being carried on by our State League of Nursing Education,\ninstead of our State Red Cross Committee, and unfortunately it has been\nnecessary to handle the work with some diplomacy, because of their inactivity."
