February 19, 1934 Miss Anne Slater Franks Secretary, Local Committee Red Cross Nursing Service Cabaniss Hall Richmond, Virginia My dear Miss Franks: Thank you very much for the information contained in your letter of February 12 and the enclosed note from the family of Miss Nannie J. Minor. Inasmuch as Miss Minor was transferred to the third reserve sometime ago, her #2 card is in this office but we will be sincerely grateful to you if you will send us additional information to complete her records now that she has passed away. We will appreciate having the exact cause and place of her death and also her appointment card and badge if you will be good enough to get them from her family for filing with her permanent records here at National Head- quarters. We are sure you will be willing to help us in this. We are very glad indeed to know that you are making your plans for Delano week and if the Committee decides to use six nurses' capes and caps on the night of the celebration, we shall be glad to send them to you as soon as you advise us of the date for which they are desired and forward your definite request for them. In reply to the second paragraph of your letter, we are afraid we shall have to leave the question to the Committee for decision. A.R.C. 703 indicates that the Committee will send to Headquarters for transfer to the third reserve, the #2 cards of all nurses who have failed to respond to questionnaires for two consecutive years. Upon carefully going over the #2 cards of your nurses who have not responded for two years, however, you may find some whom you know are active in nursing work at this time and who are perhaps still under forty years of age, who you feel you would like to give another opportunity to remain in the active status. We would suggest that you send another questionnaire to such nurses this year. In such cases perhaps a little personal note written on the questionnaire will bring a response.
