My dear Doctor Hubby:
e
S
I am writing to you on behalf of an
Amerícan Red Croas Nurse, Miss Nora F. Mel ton, who was assigned
by us to the Service de Sante during the Torld War. While in
that service ehe contracted influenza or S. heavy cold, which
localized in some of the sinus, I believe, and required an
operation.
Miss Melton hae continued work under
increasing difficulties with the U. S. Veterans Bureau. She,
however, has had many operations, deafness is increasing, and
she has long since lost all sense of taste and smell. The
result is her health ie precarious, and the time is arriving
when she will probably not be able to work and will need to
file a claim for ned Cross Insurance, which she hae not done
because ehe has not as yet been completely disabled and this
ie only allowed under such circumstances. She informs me that
you operated upon her, probably at Dr. Blake's Hospital in Paris.
Miss Grace Nichols who was with her at that
time, serving as an interpreter, has been good enough to secure
out your name and address for me. While Miss Melton remembered
your last name she had no idea of your address at
In order to file a claim with an Insurance Company, we musti be
able to prove that disability ie directly traceable to Red
Croes service. In order to be prepared, I am trying to gather
all poseible evidence to thie end. The point is -- can you recall
Mies Helton, and the general circumstances? Unfortunately, the
record which was submitted to us by the Parie Office makes no
reference to hospitalization or an operation. Hoping that you may
be able to recall this particular case, I em
Very sincerely yours,
5
National Director, Nursing Service.
