    "ocrText": "Miss Douglas.\n- 2 -\nI wonder if you would be interested at all\nin the Gold Star Mother Pilgrimage? The United States Govern-\nment is taking a great many mothers to Europe. I believe about\nsix thousand have signified their desire to go, and Miss Bulon\nfrom the Purgeon General's Office is to be in Paris in charge\nof the nursing work there. Instead of taking nurses over from\nthis country they are anxious to get in touch with nurses who\nare already in France, or in any part of Europe who would be\ninterested in helping with the work. You may know of nurses who\nare more or less free-lances who would be glad to help the\nGovernment with this rather interesting piece of work. I am\ngiving your name, therefore, to the Purgeon General's Office,\nconsequently if you hear directly from them you will understand\nthe source from which they secured it. They will be able to tell\nyou more about the details, and if you are free perhaps you\nwould like to stay and help.\nWe are all well at Headquarters and everything\nis moving along as well as one can expect in a great organization\nsuch as this. with best wishes for a Happy New Year, and in\nthe meantime believe ne as\nVery sincerely yours,\nNational Director, Nursing Service.\nN.H"
