Boardman: I am sorry I am not in Washington at this time to take some small part, at least, in the big work that must be confronting you at this time. B As you will remember in our many conferences of the War Relief Board and Executive Committee Council, and at other meetings, through force of habit and I am sure without intent, the Army was generally spoken of for first, to which you will no doubt remember I lost no oppor- tunity to take exception. Miss. J. Beatrice Bowman, who has been six years in the Navy Nurse Corps, and whose physical examination ment to active duty abroad. Miss. Bowman is temperamentally, slip I am now preparing, has been considered for an assign- you may see fit to give her in connection with this great physically and professionally qualified to fill any assignment humane activity, and I shall consider it a personal courtesy if you see that she shall be assigned to duty abroad and placed where her qualifications justify her in serving. For a woman of her exceptional ability and training at this time when nursing aid is so imperative, might be almost to be sidetracked by reason of not being known, particularly considered a crime. If I can serve you in any way in Philadelphia, I shall be only too happy to do so. With very kindest regards, I am, Sincerely yours, C Stokes. Miss. Mabel Boardman, Chairman, American Red Cross, Room 714, Union Trust Building, Washington, D.C. 6 1
