My dear Miss. 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.
