a x & AMERICAN RED CROSS FORM 336 SE P SONTNEASTERN AREA Y To: Miss Helen Wade Date: November 10, 1943 Personnel Service, E. A. From: Ruth Addams Subject: M. Ruth Laxton At your request, Miss Laxton visited the Area office Saturday, November 6. She impressed us as being the type of nurse desirable for our staff. Miss Laxton meets the requirements for the position of Assistant to Director and is interested in this position. We gave her Forms 1809A, 1460 and 615A. She will need to have a certificate of availability. Do you have forms for this purpose? If not, will you write to Miss Laxton and tell her what method to use in securing a certificate of availability from her present employer. We suggested to Miss Laxton that she will start with a salary of $200 a month. Will you confirm this salary in writing and will you also tell her what maintenance plans will be made during the period of waiting for housing in Atlanta. We suggested that this would probably be made on the basis of the flat rate of $4.00 per day. Miss Laxton feels that she can be available for service in the Southeastern Area as of December 10. However, she will write you giving you the exact date of her release from her present position. Will you please confirm the necessary arrangements, for Miss Laxton's employment. When you have completed this material will you send her folder to Miss Mary Beard, Director Nursing Service, National Headouarters, as National Headquarters Nursing Service wishes to review the folders of all nursing staff employed by the Area office. of Ruth Addams Director, Nursing Service Southeastern Area I D.
