Physical examination report.\n2. Application form.\nThe report of your physical examination will, of course, have a great\ndeal to do with your acceptance for the assignment and we expect that\nthat you will have a thorough examination, as a foreign assignment would\nbe unwise unless youl physical condition is excellent. Please take the\nresponsibility for impressing your physician with this fact. Select your\nown physician and inform him that the Red Cross is prepared to pay for\nyour examination, not to exceed five dollars ($5.00). His bill should be\nsubmitted to this office, in care of the Nursing Service. Note the re-\nquired immunization. Tetanus toxoid is also required but can be arranged\nwhen we notify you that you have been definitely accepted. Your teeth\nshould be in good condition so that it will not be likely that you will\nneed dental work.\nThe assignment which we are offering you is for general staff duty.\nIt is probable the the unit will leave next week but we would send\nyou further information on this as soon as we are able to state the time\nmore definitely. It is, therefore, necessary to select for assignment"
