Form No. 222 THE AMERICAN RED CROSS NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS WASHINGTON, D.C. INTER-OFFICE LETTER To Mr. George E. Scott, General Manager. Date Jan. 10, 1919. From Miss Clara D. Noyes. Subject Some weeks ago Surgeon General Blue asked the Department of Nursing to appoint a nurse as in- spector of the Marine Hospitals. In view of the fact that we have been providing nurses for these institu- tions we felt very anxious to do this, in order that we might secure uniformity and improve the standard of nursing care of the sick in these hospitals. I think Miss Delano spoke to you about this before she left. We engaged Miss Minnigerode, who had pre- viously been in charge of the preparation of nursing personnel for overseas duty at Red Cross Headquarters, for this purpose. I find that Miss Delano made no recommenda- tion concerning the salary of Miss Minnigerode. Upon investigation I find that the United States Public Health Service pays its' nurse inspector of the Sanitary Zönes twenty-four hundred dollars per year, with ex- penses. In as much as this was the case, I felt that the Red Cross should pay a Red Cross inspector who was doing the same type of work the same salary. I, there- fore, placed Miss Minnigerode's name on our payroll at twenty -four hundred dollars per year. I trust that you will approve of this appointment. Clara Drought Acting Director, Department of Nursing. N/K
