S. Public Health Service. The hospitals under\nthe direction of this Service include Marine Hospitals, and care for general\ndiseases, including venereal and tuberculosis cases.\nWe are requesting the War Department to return to us your Red\nCross application papers which were sent there when you went on duty with the\nArmy. This is necessary before you can be considered for further service and\nwill take from ten to fifteen days. The Army efficiency reports will govern\nlargely our selection of nurses for this service. As your criginal physical\nexamination will be retained in the War Department, please have the enclosed\nblank filled out by your physician and return it to us.\nAfter your papers have been returned from the War Department we\nshall be glad to submit them to the Surgeon General of the U.S. Public Health\nService, but in view of the fact that there may not ve a vacancy immediately,\nmay I urge that you do not discontime any work you may take up, nor make def-\ninite preparations until you are notified. We would, however, need to know\nthe approximate date upon which you could ve available before submitting your\npapers to the Surgeon General's office.\nAlthough consideration is always given the location of assignment\nrequested by the nurse, should there be no vacancy and her services be needed\nelsewhere, she would be expected to respond. The U. s. Public Health-Service\nis not willing to transport nurses to great distances. After accepting assign-\nment, nurses are expected to remain at least six months.\nAppreciating your interest, believe me as\nVery truly yours,\nDirector, Department of Nursing.\nP.S. In view of the fact that there are a number of nurses available forser-\nvice, we can not definitely promise assignment can be secured on the date\ngiven byo you as available, Oct. lst, and woul d urge that you do not make\ndefini te proparations untia notified. It will not be-possible to request\n2\nappointment for you in California on account of the distance.\n2\nC\nN\nN"
