C Mrs July 21,1941 Sister Mary Claudie St. Francis Hospital Trenton, New Jersey Dear Sister Claudia: The Chairman of the American Red Cross, Honorable Norman H. Davis, has asked me to send you the following message from the British Minister of Health in London, Mr. Ernest Brown: "I am greatly distressed that some of the nurses who were coming over to help us under the auspices of the American Red Cross have not yet been accounted for after the bar- barous attacks on the ships in which they were crossing the Atlentic. If the fears for their safety should un- happily be confirmed, the loss will be great both to you and to us. Their sacrifice can never be forgotten. I should be glad if you would express my deepest syupathy with all concerned on your side. We are very glad to see the nurses who were rescued and have now arrived in this country and full of admiration at the courage with which they have faced their bitter ordeal. Sincerely yours, 8 Mary Beard Director, Nursing Service 2 J of Sent same letter to all parents or nearest of kin of First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Groups of Harvard-Red Cross Nurses.
