Because of the nature of Red Cross\nservice, Miss Hagnussen has provided us with a narrative statement\nrather than making an attempt to fit it on the questionnaire, 8.8 follows:\n\"Miss Ruth M. Martin was employed by the American Red Cross in the cape-\ncity of staff nurse, American Red Cross-Harvard Hospital Unit, Salisbury,\nEngland June 8, 1941-July 15, 1942. She was assigned to the American\nEmbassy from August 1942-February 1, 1946 where she conducted a first aid\nand nursing clinic for Embassy personnel which was financed by the American\nRed Cross.\n\"Miss Mertin was en attractive individual who was well groomed in uniform\nand street clothes. Her posture was good, her energy and endurence vere\nsatisfactory though not outstanding. She WRS an alert capable person,\ncheerful, optimistic and friendly. She met people sasily and well, inspired\nconfidence and was able to make her influence felt. She was liked and re-\nspected by her patients and co-workers. As a hospital staff nurse, she\nwas alert to her patients' conditions, was attentive to their needs, and\ngave very good bedside care. Her records were neat and well kept.\n\"Miss Mertin worked alone at the American Embassy on e health program\nwhich was rather limited in scope; however, met the needs of the Embasey\npersonnel. Her work included first aid, health supervision, arranging\nfor hospitalization and home visiting required by Embassy personnel.\nMisa Martin was loyal, sincere and reliable.\"\nWe hope this is setiefactory, but if you have any further\nquestions please advise.\nVery truly yours,\n(SIGWED) NORMAN A.
