McCalla, American Red Cross\nnurse, who gives your name as that of her nearest relative in\nher papers on file in this office.\nWe have not heard from Miss McCalla since March\n1925 and our Local Committee on Red Cross Nursing Service with which\nshe is enrolled, reports that she has failed to answer communications\nwhich they have sent her from time to time. For this reason, the\nCommittee has forwarded her records to National Headquarters for\naction.\nInasmuch as it is very important that we keep\nour file of enrolled Red Cross nurses as up to date and active as\npossible, it will be necessary for us to consider the annullment\nof Miss McCalla's enrollment as an American Red Cross nurse unless\nwe are able to secure her present address within the next two months,\nor by March 20, 1928. We would indeed very greatly dislike to have\nto take this action but feel sure you, as well as the nurse, will\nrealize that we cannot continue to carry in our files indefinitely\nnurses who are apparently not suf friciently interested in the Service\nto keep us advised of their addresses and reply to communications\nwhich come to them. We trust this letter to you will bring us the\nnecessary information.\nHindly send us Miss McCalla's present post office\naddress by return mail, if possible, or if more convenient, we will\nbe glad to have you hand this letter to her with the request that she\nwrite us before the date mentioned above. May we add here that it is\nnot our desire to call upon Miss McCalla for any service whatever but\nsimply to bring our records up to date.\nThanking you in advance for your courtesy in this\nmatter, I am\nVery truly yours,\nClara D. Noyes,\nNational Director,\nRed Cro SS Nursing Service\nMR-ee"
