The nurses arriving in New York for service under the Red Cross should
bring a sworn statement from someone who has 1mown her for two years as a letter
of indentification in case she has no friends in New York to identify her at the
passport bureau.
The nurses arriving in New York after 5 P. M. or on Saturday afternoon
or Sunday should communicate with the Central Club, 132. East 43rd St. upon arri-
val, phone Murray Hill 8700, or with the Park Ave. Hotel, 32nd St. and 4th Ave.,
Murray Hill 3500 in order to make arrangements for board. They will be well taken
care of at either of these places until the office is opened.
One nurse of eadh group is selected as Head Nurse for the trip and until
the group arrives in Paris and reports to the Representative of the Nursing Service
Miss Julia Stimson, at 4 Place de la Concorde, Paris. This nurse is also in charge
of any Nurses Aids who may sail on the same ship. A list of the nurses expected
to sail in the group is sent to her before the sailing date and she meets all those
sailing at 44 East 23rd St.
Nurses going over under the Red Cross must understand that we on this
side cannot promise a definite position to any one nurse. We can and do send a
letter to our representative stating the experience of each nurse and suggesting
the form of service to which she is assigned, but with the changeing situation in
France from day to day it would not be possible for us to do other than this and
the nurses are assigned under the direction and at the discretion of our represen-
tative there and are expected to accept the assignment given them without dissat-
isfaction.
We have received a recent ruling from the State Department that women
with brothers in the service cannot be sent to France. Therefore if you have a
brother in the service, it will not be possible for you to secure a passport. We
are endeavoring to have this ruling modified in favor of nurses, but as yet have
not succeeded, so if you have a brother in the service we will notify you as soon
as we have definite information.
Very truly yours,
LM-M
Director, Bureau of Field
Nursing Service.
