My dear Mr. Kerr%
Evidence of the death of your sister, Miss Anna
W. Kerr, American Red Cross nurse, has reached us and we wish
to extend to you and your sisters our most heartfelt sympathy.
Miss Kerr has always been a very devoted and loyal member of
the Red Cross Nursing Service and there are those in this office
who had the privilege of knowing her and serving with her when
she was at National Headquarters during the World War.
We are sure that you and your family will be
interested to know that Miss Kerr's records will be retained on
file at National Headquarters permanently and if you will be good
enough to advise us of the cause of her death and send us any
additional data which you would like to have become a part of
these records, we shall be grateful.
If you find your sister's appointment card and
badge, No. 6831, her credentials as a Red Cross nurse, among her
personal belongings, we shall be deeply grateful if you will
forward them to this office for filing with her records.
Again, assuring you and your sisters of the sympathy
of the American Red Cross Nursing Service, I am
Very sincerely yours,
Mary Beard
Director, Nursing Service
