AMERICAN RED CROSS
FORM 336 SE

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.
