,
Dear Madam:
e
In 1918 I called at Red Cross Head-
quarters in Washington to offer my services. At
that time I was 19 years old and working as a
typist in the War Department. I was told that
I was too young to be of service, and was advised
to go into training in some good hospital. I
entered Illinois Training School at Cook County,
Chicago in 1921. Now to my great disappointment
after years of active nursing and having been a
member of the Red Cross, I find that I am too old
by 2 years, to be accepted in this emergency. I
am in excellent health and have had varied exper-
ience. I am so afraid if I do not get into service
now that war may come and I will be left behind.
Hoping that you may be able to do some-
thing to help me lose these two years, I am
Sincerely yours,
morling
