3 ete e e 1 I C e 1 M 1 a S. It. S F a rb a Peekskill Hospital at a Peekskill, New York I May 5, 1943 - J. My dear Mrs. Powers: I received your letter re the recruiting of nurses. Would like to say that I graduated in 1909. Served in the ARC nursing abroad for over two years during the last war, then married and gave up nursing. Three years ago circum- stances compelled me to again enter the active field. Have done general nursing at the above hospital since, and still continue. I notified the Red Cross a year ago and gave my number, but have not heard from them so do not know if I still retain a place on the list of Red Cross nurses or not. Should be much obliged to find out . My number of the Red Cross pin is 1045. Thank you Sarah Fearn Mercer, R.N.
