C.\nMy dear Miss Martin:\nWe are pleased to tell you that your x-ray report has been approved\nby Harvard Medical School and we have received a satisfactory report of\nyour final physical examination.\nPlease check when you receive your uniforms for - 6 white uniforas\nwith short sleeves, detachable belt and buttons, emblem on left sleeve\n(American Red Cross -- Nursing); street uniforas - Red Cross Pin on each\nshoulder of short coat, two A.R.C. pins on the collar of short and topcoat,\nemblem on left sleeve of each cout midway between shoulder and elbow (American\nRed Cross - Harvard Unit). Clamp your bronze A.R.C. pins so that they do not\nbecome unhooked and lost. If there are any minor alterations to be made after\nyou receive the street uniform, have your lodal tailor take care of it. for\nany major alteration your suit will have to be returned to the tailor in New\nYouk.\nWe have decided to wear white shirt blouses with a black four-in-hand\ntie, to be supplied by the nurse. Three with long sleeves are required. If\nyou have any with short sleeves bring tham along. A blouse with a convortible\ncollar serves a double purpose - takes the tie well and can be left open in\nsummer. If you have a steamer rug, you will find it very useful and it can\nbe strapped to the outside of your luggage. A good suggestion is to have\nsome kind of purse or container that can be attached to your person to carry\nyour money and passport.\nEnclosed you will rind rules and regulations for obtsining passports.\nYou will note from these regulations that you should present yourself before\na cleric of your local U.S. District Court, unless an Agent of the Department\nof State is located near you. You should take with you the enclosed letter\nof appointment, two photographs and, in addition, evidence of your American\ncitizenship, and apply for a passport. when you have your pictures taken,\nhave twolve prints made, two for your passport, one we should like to have\nfor your record here at National Headquarters and the remaining nine for use\nin Ingland.
