Form No. 222
THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS
WASHINGTON D. C.
INTER-OFFICE LETTER
To
Miss Noyes
Date
Nov. 26, 1918
From
Mr. King
Subject
Blance Ina Lewis
Referring to the sailing of Blanche Ina Lewis, I have investigated
in this office how it happened that she should be allowed to proceed
if your memorandum was received suspending her enrollment for foreign
service.
Upon investigation, I find that your memorandum was received
in this office, but your directions were not observed in consequence
of an inadvertance of the clerical organization.
You are of course, familiar with the form of enrollment which
consists of four parts which are distributed as follows: One for
Headquarters files, one for the Bureau of Embarkation, one for the
Comptroller, and one for the foreign commission. Through the
inadvertance to which I efer, your memorandum was attached to the
part of the enrollment which is held in Washington, rather than
to the part of the form which goes to the Bureau of Embarkation.
Consequently the Embarkation Bureau was not advised that there TOS
anything unusual with respect to the case and Miss Lewis was booked
in the usual way.
This is the explanation, but I do not present it as an accuse.
The incident never should have occurred.
