? + to H a a February 18, 1941 M Miss Ida Maude Britton, The Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital, Hastings, Nebraska My dear Miss Britton: Thank you for your letter of February 7. I very much regret having to tell you that we cannot have our hospital ready for service before July; therefore, it is very unlikely that our nursing staff will sail before June. Perhaps in your cast this is a good thing. However, we fully realize how disturbing the uncertainty must be to our nursesg but under existing conditions it is to be expected Your uniform will be made according to the measurement blank that you submitted. Any minor alterations can be taken care of by your local tailor but for any major alteration your suit will have to go back to the tailor in New York. it is necessary that receipts accompany parcels on uniforms be signed and returned inmediately to this office. I do hope that conditions at your hospital have settled somewhat. Let us hear from you. Sincerely yours, Gertrude Madley's Chief Nurse, American Red Cross- Harvard Hospital Unit. M/B
