If\nyou\nhave a photograph of Miss Murphy, preferably one showing\nher in uniform, may I ask that you permit us to borrow it\nlong enough to copy?\nRealizing that in many cases such a\npicture is now the only link between the heroic women whô\nhave made the supreme sacrifice and those who loved them,\nwe promise that this photograph will be returned in the\ncondition in which it was sent, and that no use except that\nof which the Red Cross Nursing Service would be proud, will\nbe made of it.\nWe are, at present, planning to give\nthese photographs nation-wide publicity through the Red\nCross Divisions. While so much is being said and done for\nthe troops returning from France, we count it a high privi-\nlege to pay what tribute we may to the memory of those nurses,\nwho no less than the American soldiers \"have layed down their\nlives for their friends.\"\nHoping that we may rely upon your\ncooperation, believe me as\nVery truly yours,\nClara Duys\nActing Director,\nDepartment of Nursing.\nP/M"
