My dear Niss Forster:-
In order to maintain a roster showing the status of each nurse, our
Red Cross nurses are now classified into three reserves, as follows:
First Reserve: Includes nurses under 40 years of age, single (widowed or divorced)
physically fit and available for all types of service, including
military duty.
Second
Reserve: Includes nurses 40 years of age and over, or married, but active
and available for all types of service except military duty.
Third Reserve: Includes
-
A. Nurses who fail to keep their records active by responding to the annual
questionnaire.
B. Nurses who are no longer able to carry on any type of Red Cross service for
the reason that they are physically disqualified.
C. Nurses who definitely state their unavailability for any type of active
duty for other reasons.
described above.
You have been transferred to the Third Reserve because you fall in group
It is hoped that although your records are now in our inactive file, your
interest in the Red Cross Nursing Service will encourage you to stimulate enrollment
among those nurses eligible for the First Reserve and that you will participate in
the volunteer activities of your local Chapter.

Although you will not receive our annual address questionnaire in the
future, may we assure you of our interest in you and of our good wishes at all times.
Sincerely yours,
Mary Beard
