Even though you may be of military age, you\nare being classified in this reserve so that you will not be contacted for\nmilitary service, except as you may be classified by the Procurement and\nAssignment Service of the War Manpower Commission as available.\nYour record card is being sent tothe Dane County Chapter Nurse\nRecruitment Committee, Madison, Wisconsin, and I am sure the chapter will\nwelcome you should you wish to help them with any of their Red Cross Nursing\nService programs.\nIt is more important than ever that you notify Red Cross national\nheadquarters or the above committee promptly of any. change of address or\nposition. This will enable us to keep your record card on file in the\nproper office and to reclassify you if necessary.\nSincerely,\nC\nMary Beard\nDirector, Nursing Service\nrp\n-74944-\nu"
