    "ocrText": "July 1, 1935\nMrs. Lou E. Vold\nActing Executive Secretary\nFranklin County Chapter\nAmerican Red Cross\nStoneman Building\nColumbus, Ohio\nMy dear Mrs. Vold:\nYour letter of June twenty-sixth to Miss Annabelle\nPetersen wes referred to the Nursing Service in order that we\nmight examine our files for a Mrs. Kidd who was assigned to\nforeign service as a Red Cross nurse during the war. We think\nwe have found the records of the nurse you refer to but we have\nher name as Miss Caroline Amelia Kidd.\nShe was assigned to our Siberian Unit in 1910, ar-\nriving in Vladivostok June 5, 1919, and she left Vladivostok to\nreturn to this country February 5, 1920. A very careful examina-\ntion of her files fails to reveal any incident as noted in your\nletter. There is one statement showing that it was necessary to\nreplenish Miss Kidd's equipment because of fire which broke out\non the train transporting the nurses to their destination. The\ntrain was known as Evacuation Train No. 2 and the fire broke out\nin the baggage car. She lost considerable of her equipment which\nwas replaced.\nUnfortunately we cannot give you any inform tion re-\ngarding the whereabouts of this nurse. We have heard nothing from\nher since her return to this country. Miss Kida was not assigned\nto the Unit as a nurse but as a dietitian, though she as an en-\nrolled Red Cross nurse. Our last address for her was Marietta,\nOhio, no street. On her'application form for enrollment she gives\nher nearest relative as Mrs. Sanford Kilmer, 1011 3rd Street,\nMarietta, Ohio. This was so long ago we doubt if it is correct.\nWe are sorry that we cannot supply you with further information.\nVery truly yours\nIda E. DButler\nAssistant Director of Nursing\nNational Headquarters\n`IFB/img"
