Jokaitis,\n1800 Connecticut St.\nGary, Ind.\nI\ngogs\nMy dear Mrs. Jokaitis:-\neverfied\n,tapistnt\nYour letter to Miss Noyes arrived just as she was leaving for a\ntrip to Louisville, and after discussing the situation with me, at her re-\nquest I am writing you to state that while we regret to be obliged to wait\ntwo months to secure you for Miss Bridge, we feel that it is worth while to\ndo so. We are, however, starting at once to arrange for your trip to PO-\nland, as it is necessary to engageusailingsimmediately in order to secure\nthem. We should like to arrange for you to sail on or about ugust 1st,\nand trust that you will notify us at onceth.t you will be ready at this\ntime.\nWe note that you are willing to remain for two years or longer, if\nnecessary. This will be a great relief to Miss Bridge, as the organization\nof a Training School is something that covers a long period of time. Miss\nNoyes feels very strongly that nurses hould stay at least two years\nIn order that the Red Cross may arrange all the necessary details\nre carding your sailing, etc., we will send you the necessary papers to fill\nout; service application forms; physical examination blank; Immunity blank;\nalso 4.R.C. 702 regarding equipment. Kindly fill in the service application\nform and have your physical examination made on the blank enclosed and return\nthem to this office as promptly as possible. We will then refer your name\nto our Bureau of Personnel at Headquarters, when instructions concerning your\npassport application will be sent to you by that Department.\nPlease begin your immunity treatment at once. The white immunity\ncertificate should be retained by you,and the blue one forwarded to this\noffice for filing with your other papers. It is also important that you\nreceive vaccination for small pox.\nYou will be provided with the Red Cross uniform upon your arrival\nin New York. will you kindly check the size of uniform you require on the\nenclosed equipment card, and forward the same promptly to Mrs. Maud G. Moody\nMgr. Bureau of Nurses' Equipment, 44 East 23d St., New York City, who will\nhave your equipment in readiness for you when you report in New York. In\naddition to the equipment furnished by the Red Cross, I think it would be\nwise to provide yourself, if you do not already have one, - with a safety\nbag in which to carry passport, money, Red Cross identification card and\nother important papers. In no case should this bag be left in your suitcase\nor trunk to be checked."
