    "ocrText": "K\n5\ns\nMay 28, 1918.\nMiss Agnes Kloman,\nDept. of Health,\nFargo, N. D.\nK\n(D\nMy dear Miss Kloman:\nJune 15th\nWe have you scheduled to sail about\nWe can only give you\nyou an approximate date, but Dr. Babcock of the Division of Transportation will\nsend you definite instructions concerning this and all other business matters,\nand may I request that you do not leave your home until you have received and\nexecuted his instructions. This is essential if you are to secure your pass-\nport.\nI am enclosing a circular of information which gives you detailed in-\nstructions concerning material for your passport. I would suggest that you\nsecure immediately the information necessary and I would further suggest that\nyou have three (3) dozen photographs made instead of the two (2) dozen mention-\ned in the circular, and that the size of the head should not be more than 1 by\n1 inches in order to fit some of the papers, and that no hat should be worn.\nThese photographs should cost not more than 50 cents t6 one dollar a dozen and\nshould be gotten as reasonably as possible. In the cities where there is fre-\nquent request for passports, the regulation photographs can be obtained for a-\nbout this price. In the case of nurses, not citizens of the U. S. it will be\nnecessary to make application for passport to the Consul representing their\ncountry.\nThe term of service is for the period of the war, but nurses may be re-\nleased at the expiration of one year, if the reasons for their request for re-\nlease meet with the approval of the authorities. Nurses sent over under the\nRed Cross are expected to remain in this service and requests for transfer to\nthe military service will not be considered.\nWe request that you pay your own transportation to New York securing\nvouchers for all expenditures and presenting these with your bills at the New\nYork Office for reimbursement. You are allowed hotel. bill for three (3) days\nprior to the date on which you are booked to sail at $4.00 a day, and for any\ntime you may be held in New York after that date. As the ships rarely sail on\nthe designated date, you will probably have from three to six days extra in New\nYork, thus having full time for any preparation it is necessary to make.\nYou are allowed salary at two ($2.00) dollars a day from date of leav-\ning home to date on which booked to sail. If you are held in New York af ter\nthat time the additional salary will be paid in France.\nThe salary is $60.00 a month and you may make any callotment you desire\nof this salary before leaving this country. After sailing however, there can\n4\nbe no change made in the method of payment of salaries. Forms for this pur-\npose will be sent you later from Dr. Babcock's office."
