Noyes\nActing Director, Department of Nursing\nWashington, D.C.\nFrom:\nDepartment of Nursing\nEastern Division, Siberian Commission\nRe:\nMiss Elizabeth Wilson, A.R.C. Nurse 26516\nI regret very much to be obliged to inform you that Miss\nElizabeth Wilson, A.R.C. Nurse 26516, was definitely found to be\na subject of alcoholism and was dismissed from duty with the\nSiberian Commission on August 29 1919. The authoritative state-\nment of the physicians regarding her will be found attached.\nMiss Wilson has been recommended for early transportation.\nA cable will be sent to you giving the information regarding the\ndate of her departure.\nNeedless to say I am very sorry to have been obliged to\ntake this action regarding Miss Wilson. She was found to be a\nvery good worker and was devoted to her patients. When she learned\nthat the report regarding her had been substantiated, she filed a\nresignation which I did not feel justified in accepting, inasmuch as\nI had had explicit orders from you to return her to America, and\nalso inasmuch as she had had repeated warnings. I understand that\nshe comes from a very good family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and\nthat she intends to cable her father from Honolulu to meet her in\nSan Francisco. I am not notifying Miss White of this affair, as\nI feel that it would only add to Miss Wilson's embarrassment. We\nwill see that she is placed in safe hands for the voyage.\nI have asked Miss Wilson to return her pin and Red Cross\nNurses membership card to me. She reported that she did not bring\nher card with her, and that she has sent her pin to America to be\nrepaired. She has been informed that her status in the American Red\nCross Nursing Service will be finally determined by you. I had re-\nquested the pin and membership card of her because I thought my\nopportunity for securing them was much better than yours would be\nin case you decided that you would dismiss her. I explained to her\nthat these were being asked for only pending the decision in Washington."
