Miss Helen L. Kerrigan,
153 East 79th St.,
New York, N. Y.
Dear Miss Kerrigan:
May I thank you for responding so promptly to our
call for nurses and assure you of my regret that it will be
impossible to consider your section.
It has recently been decided by the State Department
that the Red Cross should at this time send only native born
citizens of the United States for service in Europe. In the
beginning it seemed to me desirable to secure as many nurses
as possible speaking European languages, and local committees
were so instructed. I regret that a change of our plans be-
came necessary, but feel sure you will understand.
Hoping for your continued interest in the Red Cross
believe me
Yours sincerely,
Chairman National Committee
Red Cross Nursing Service.
