Buckland,\n950 Post St.,\nSan Francisco,\nGelif.\nMy dear Miss Buckland:\nYou were approved for Home Defense enrollment in the Red\nCross Nursing Service on October 14, 1931, and on the same date we mailed you,\nunder-separate cover, your Red Cross Home Defense appointment card and badge,\nwhics ape.your credentials as a Red Cross nurse, these were sent to the above\naddress,\nNearly six weeks have elapsed and we have had no acknowl-\nedgment from you, although we enclosed a post card with the credentials for that\npurpose.\nI am sure you will appreciate the fact that as the Red Cross\ncredentials should only be worn by a member of our enrollment, if they are lost we\nare immediately concerned lest they may fall into the hards of someone who has no\nright to them and would exploit them. Not receiving the return post card in\nacknowledgment of the credentials, or a letter from you, we do not know, of course,\nwhether the badge and card have reached you safely. If you still have the post\ncard in your possession, will you not fill it in and mail it to this office whthout\ndelay? If, however, you have mislaid the card, we shall be very grateful if you\nwill write us, assuring us that you have the credentials in your possession and\ngiving us your present address.\nIf, by any chance, the appointment card and badge have not\nreached you and the address to which we sent them is wrong, will you not trace them\nby getting in touch with your former address without delay. Also, please make in-\nquiry through your local post office.\nfter every effort has been made to loc. te the original appoint-\nment card and badge, without success, we will, of course, furnish you with duplicates.\nIt is important that this matter be attended to immediately because if the appointment\ncard and badge are not in your possession, you have no means of establishing your\nidentity as an enrolled Red Cross Home Defense nurse. We are sure we may depend\nupon you for your interest and cooperation.\nVery truly yours,\nClara D. Noyes,\nChairman, National Committee,\nRed Cross Nursing Service.\nIFB/bk.\nu\n5\nI\n6"
