C.\nMy dear Miss Noyes,\nI wish to affirm that I have known Agnes P.\nKloman, a trained Nurse of Fargo, South Dakota, for\nabout thirty years I have talked with her about the\nWar during the past eighteen months and I will vouch\nin every way for her loyalty and that she is a most\ncapable, through and through, full blooded American\nwoman desirous of doing her part to assist in taking\ncare of the wounded and suffering.\nMiss Kloman graduated in Baltimore at one\nof the leading hospitals. She is well known to many\nof the leading Doctors of John Hopkins University and\nthe hospital. Undoubtedly she has given the Red Cross\nher experience and references. She has telegraphed to\nme on account of my connection with the Government,\nasking that I communicate with you immediately and\naffirm her loyalty.\nShe requests that you be good enough to tele-\ngraph her at her expense to Fargo, South Dakota, whether\nthis letter from me will warrant your issuing necessary\ninstructions to the Fargo branch of the Red Cross so\nthat she may prepare immediately to leave for Overseas\nwork. The Red Cross is to be congratulated, in my\nopinion, upon the opportunity of securing the services\nof such a wonderfully capable woman as Miss Kloman.\nthe\nMy wife is well known in Red Cross Circles,\nbeing in charge of the Chevy Chase Branch, and is well\nknown to Miss Castle. I shall request Mrs Horner to\nsee you in person when she returns next week, as Miss\nKloman is a particular friend of hers and I am sure that\nshe can convince you that you need her.\n1-7\nsubscribed and\nVery traly yours,\nthis it th 1918\nsurm to before me\ngo\nLieut. Colonel, S. C., U. S. A."
