Miss Ida Kaude Britton,
Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital,
a
Hastings, Nebraska
My dear Miss Britton:
I am writing to offer you an appointment to the nursing staff of
the American Red Cross-Harvard Hospital Unit to be established in
England. We are pleased that you are interested in this Unit, and we
feel the nurses who take part have ahead of them an interesting uncier-
taking and will bring back to this country an experience that will
be
most valuable in nursing.
The date on which the nurses of the Unit will sail is not yet
definite but we expect it will be January 15th, and will keep you
informed of any change. We would advise that you not give up your
present position until you hear from us again. Information regarding
insurance, uniforms, personal clothing and luggage, will be sent to you
at a later date.
We are enclosing a revised statement concerning the Unit. As stated
on this sheet, the salary of general staff nurses will be $80 a month,
maintenance, travel and uniforms being in addition.
The enclosed forms for your physical examination should be rilled
in and returned to us as soon as possible. Arrangements will then be
made for your final physical examination by a physician appointed by
Dr. Gordon. Your appointment to the Unit is, of course, pending a
satisfactory physical examination report.
May me hear from you, stating definitely that you are interested in
accepting a position as general staff nurse with this Unit.
cincerely yours,
Virginia M. Dunbar,
Assistant Virector,
Nursing Service.
