Dear Miss Houston:-
in application blank.
On February 17th I mailed to you my filled
Be sure that I realize how busy you all are.
In fact, the day I was in your office I had a notion to offer
my services as a filing clerk or general office assistant when
I saw how busy every one was.
However, what I do in the next few months depends
on what the Red Cross does about my application. You can readily
appreciate that I am anxious to do something definite to help in
this country while waiting for an appointment from the Chinese
Government to go back to China.
I can plan to be in Washington next week if a
personal interview is wanted by you or your committee. If not, any
attention you may be able to give this matter will be greatly
appreciated by
Sincerely yours,
Lydia F. Reich
P.S. to The United Lutheran Board of Foreign Missions would be glad
me for the next few months.
donate my services to any work which the Red Cross might assign
