& August 5, 1936 Miss Ruth Laxton State Department of Health Charleston, West Virginia My dear Miss Laxton: In reviewing your papers it was necessary to send your physical examination report of our Medical Examiner and because of the report on the attack of poli6- mylitis and consequent post condition of the right leg the due to this illness, you are rejected for general enrollment all in the Red Cross Nursing Service. However, if we receive a satiafactory report from the Cook County Hospital regarding your six months there, for which we have written, we are quite sure that we will be able to offer you Home Defense enrollment and hope that you will be willing to accept it. It is explained on page 8 of the enclosed pamphlet. We will let you hear from us as soon as we receive a reply to our letter written to the Director of Nursing, Cook County Bospital. With best wishes, I am the Sincerely yours, Ida F. Butler I Secretary, National Committee Red Cross Nursing Service IFB:SD
