U.S.A.\nMy dear Miss Johnsón,\nThis is to introduce Miss Etta Vivtoria\nCoquardi who arrived in France on Nov. lst, but whom I am return-\ning to the States as soon as possible, because of a statement that\nwas made about her by Miss Lena. M. Johnson, who was in charge of\nthe group of nurses with whom Miss Coquard came over. (Miss\nJohnson is the Chief Nurse of a group who are going to Greece.)\nHer statement is witnessed by Dr Samuel J. Walker, Medical Director\nfor the Personnel of the A.R.C. on board the S.S \"Orita\", and\nby Major Horace Oakley, Deputy Commissioner for Greece. This\nletter, with a copy of her card, form 615 - made out by Miss coquard\non arrival,, and a. letter which she wrote me, I am mailing to Miss\nNoyes.\nThe charges of inefficiency and insubordination and un-\nfitness made by Miss Johnson seem to me entirely justified, and I\nfelt that there was no other course byt to return Miss Coquard\nat. once.\nIt is au very pitifu 1 case, for she tells me that\nshe is one of six children, four of whom are totally or partially\nblind. She herself received no education until she was eighteen\nbecause she had to take care: of her brothers and sisters, for there\nwas no institution where they lived - in Dakota - to which they\ncould be sent. Miss Coquard states un her letter that the\nSurgeon General had` turned her down three times on account of her\npoor health and bad sight\nAt the present time she says she is\nsubject to inflammatory rheumatism and pyonnhoea and that she had a\ngoitre removed sometime ago, and that her sight is poor. Miss\nCoquard has apparently had a very difficult life: but in my opinion\nwe would not be justified in putting her on duty in any capacity,5\nVery sinwerely yours,\njulea b. Stimson\nHPSh\nJulia C. Stimson, R.N., A.N.C.\nChief Nurse A.R.C. in France.\n3\n4"
