Dow\nGreat Chebeague Island\nCasco Bay\nMaine\nMy dear Mrs. Dow:\nReplying to your letter, the ex-service\nnurses who are eligible for the bonus are only those nurses\nwho were federalized and served with the Army and the Navy\nNurse Corps during the war. In Looking over your records\nwe find that your service was with the American Red Cross,\nthat you reported in Paris on November 2, 1918, were assigned\nto the American Red Cross Children's Bureau on that date and\nserved until you were released on December 27, 1918 when you\nwere returned to the United States as your services were no\nlonger required. We regret to inform you that the nurses\nconnected with the Red Cross service in France are not eligible\nfor the bonus.\nSincerely yours,\nIda F. Butler\nActing Director of Nursing\nIFB:SD"
