Fitzgerald\nNurses' Residence\nSheppard Pratt Hospital\nTowson, Maryland\nMy dear Miss Fitagerald:\nMiss Eileen McLaughlin, Secretary of the Maryland State and\nLocal Committee on Red Cross Nursing Service, has just forwarded your\nlittle note of December 20 in response to the receipt of your annual\naddress questionnaire.\nI don't wonder that you feel filling in one more question-\nnaire is almost too much to expect of you. We are glad to accept your\nnote as evidence of the fact that we can still count you as among\nthose present.\nCertainly when I review your fat folder in this office, I\nam filled with awe and admiration at the splendid life of service\nyou have rendered for the Red Cross and all humanity.\nI wish 80 much that I might have an opportunity of seeing\nyou some time when I get to Baltimore, but with gas rationing I\nnever seem to get bayond the point where the train drops me and\nTowson seems quite inaccessible. It is strange how dependent we do\nbecome upon our cars. I think it is good for us to have them with-\nheld from us for a time so that we can appreciate to a fuller extent\nthe good things of this life.\nI hope your parrot has a good supply of watermelon seeds\nto keep him going through the winter and that he is keeping you good\ncompany as usual.\nWith best wishes for a brighter 1943,\nSincerely yours,\nGertrude S. Banfield\nGSB:mab\nAss't. Director, Nursing Service"
