My dear Miss Cummings:
+
have just been advised by Washington that the definite date
of sailing is not known, but that immediate prospects are unlikely. We
realize that this information is a disappointment to you, as it is to us;
but, on the other hand, we are confident that you can well understand that
with the rapid develoyments in the War zone, the Government mast use all
available transportation for troops and personnel of the military forces.
It is not possible for us to predict when the War Department can
arrange for our sailing, but there may be a delay of approximately two
months. For this reason, we should like to hear from you at your carliest
convenience whether you wish to have us keep your name on the list, or have
it withdrawn. If the former, it would be necessary for you to arrange with
your employer for your release as soon as word is recoived that transporta-
tion has been arranged. In that case, you should keep the travelers checks
which you have, but understand, of course, that none of them can be used
until you actually purchase your railroad ticket to San Francisco, or port
of embarkation. If you decide to have your name withdrawn, the sub-advance
should be returned, but you will receive instructions later about how to
convert the travelers checks.
Again, may we say how much we regret this delay, but we are confi-
dent that you will accept this news in the same fine spirit which prompted
you to answer the call.
Cordially yours,
(Miss) Gladyee L. Badger
Director, Nursing Service
Pacifie Area, A.R.C.
