My dear Miss Boardman :-
Do you think it would be possible for the
American Red Cross to give me any position in its general offices
in Washington, for a time at least, to help with the flood work, at any
pay sufficient for maintenance ? My number as a Red Cross nurse is
1224, enrolled March 10th, 1911. I am very elderly, but in good health,
barring a slight lameness from an injury.
Three years ago, for "economic reasons only", , I was dropped by
the Department of Health in this city for whom I had worked fourteen
years and four months. I was appointed under Civil Service, having
passed No.l of about 400 nurses examined. My work was almost wholly
the combining of statistical reports for the Division of Child Hygiene
concerning maternity and infant work in 36 of the 48 wards of
Philadelphia. I could submit a few old copies of these reports,
if you would like me to do so. Besides this I did research, censoring
of letters, revision of manuscripts, and proof=readinge Since I lost
my position I have published many articles in magazines, the last,
"To Be or Not To Be" sin a Boston Universalist magazine Oct.5th, 1935.
Last summer I indexed two medical books for The B.Lippincott Co.
I am the last of my family of six brothers and four sisters, and
have no home.
On Jan.26th a journey took me through Johnstown , and I wish I were
young enough to go and help the flood sufferers there.
Most respectfully yours
