Visdivostok July 1919 To: C. M. Bruner Hazel Bruner From: Acting Chief Nurse Re: Correspondence with Personnel By the same post you will probably get a letter from your daughter, telling of her departure to the interior of Siberia. Her temporary assignment is Omsk, where the new government of Rüssia is being created. You may feel that this is a long way from you, and it is, but we want you to know that the American Red Cross is sparing nothing to insure the comfort of its workers. We all expect to make some sacrifices and am sure that your daughter is no exception. The train leaving for the interior was very comfortable and everything was provided to make the journey as pleasant as possible. They are crossing the country at a very pleasant time of the year. The Red Cross trains are slow and 1t will take them about three and one-half weeks to reach Omsk, which will afford them time to visit other hospitals on the way up. Frequent letters are most appreciated. There is a big work to be done here and when it is all over you will be proud indeed to know that your daughter was an important factor in this big fight for humanity. Letters written may not reach you as promptly as you may hope to have them but I know it will be o comfort for you to know that they are being written and it is only trains and uncertain mails delaying them. We will be glad to answer any questions at any time. For - Grace Harrington Acting Chief Nurse Siberian Commission American Red Cross
