My dear Miss Mumma:

Your physical has been approved by our Red Cross medical advisor
and we are now in a position to offer you an appointment as Staff Nurse
2
with one of the civilian emergency hospitals in the Hawaiian Islands which
is under the jurisdiction of the Emergency Medical and Hospital Service of
a
the Territorial Office of Civilian Defense in the Territory of Hawaii. This
position carries the salary of $112.50 per month, including full maintenance
6
and the laundering of your uniforms. Your salary will start from the time
you take your Oath of Office in San Francisco, as will also the terms of
your employment with the Office of Civilian Defense, in accordance with
the employment regulations enclosed.
As you have noted, we have advised you to take your own hospital
cape. However, we shall supply you with three Red Cross caps and eight Red
Cross insignia to be worn on your uniforms. These are now being sent from
our Supply Department and should reach you within a short time. This equip-
ment is in the form of a loan and you will be expected to return it to this
office whenever you terminate your service there.
The required immunizations are smallpox, triple typhoid and tetanus
toxoid. If you have not been vaccinated for smallpox within the past year, a
repeat vaccination is advised. As both the tetanus and typhoid inoculations
are given in a series covering several weeks, you will need to start these at
once. If your immunizations are not completed before you leave home, arrange
to take the medication with you, and if an inoculation comes due while you are
in San Francisco, please get in touch with Miss Gladyce Badger, Civic Auditorium,
Larkin & Grove Streets, who is in charge of our Pacific Area Office, and who
will make arrangements for this to be given. Enclosed are duplicate immuniza-
tion forms. One is to be returned to this office, the other you will keep with
you at all times. In case your inoculations have not been completed before you
leave the Mainland, please return one immunimation register to this office,
indicating the time that the series will have been completed.
Enclosed please find the following:
