    "ocrText": "COPY\nFebruary 24, 1943\nMiss Gertrude Madley\nHerman Kiefer Hospital\nDetroit, Mich.\nDear Miss Madley:\nReceived your welcome letter this week. I'm passing it on to the\nother girls. There are still 23 of the old unit here - right now Miss\nMallo and Miss Goik are on detached service and there are 2 nurses\nfrom another unit replacing them. Miss Voas gets married a week from\nthis next Saturday (March 6) and will then live in Bath. We think\nshe is going to have a very pretty wedding. I haven't seen Miss Olson\nfor a very long time but we see Mrs. Broughton quite often.\nThe hospital varies from 65 - 95 patients. You can imagine that\nwe keep busy when there are 95 with just the nurses we have now. We are\nusing wards 3 - 8 inclusive. Ward 1 has been turned into a lab building\nand just now ward 2 is being used for a storeroom. The administration\nbuilding has been almost entirely converted to a lab building too and we\nwill be moving into the new administrative building any day. It's across\nthe \"turnabout\" and is a Mission Hut.\nPeggy Somerville's address is 171 Broad St., Catskill, New York. Had\nyou heard. that Katie Colvin and Alex Steigman have announced their\nengagement? We gues theirs is the only wedding in the offing. You\nshould see us out here in front some Monday, Wednesday or Friday about\n5 PM - infantry drill. You'd be proud of us, though we haven't had much\npractice we don't look so bad. We have classes every day - a training\nprogram - all those off duty are required to go. I seem to have rambled\nwithout saying anything.\nAll the best to you and your sister,\nSincerely,\nFrances A. Bacon, 2nd Lt.\n1st Gen. Med. Lab \"A\"\nAPO 519 U S Army\nNew York City"
