Loramie, Wyo.
My dear Miss Rittenhouse:
In the interest of maintaining an active enrollment,
our Red Cross Nurses are now classified into three reserves, as
explained on page 10 of ARC 703, as follows:
"First Reserve: Nurses under 40 years of age, un-
married, widowed or divorced, physically fit and
available for all types of service, including
military duty.
Second Reserve: Nurses over 40 years of age, or married,
but still active and available for all types of
service except military duty.
Third Reserve: Nurses no longer able to carry on any
type of Red Cross service for the reason that they
are physically disqualified. Nurses who fail to
keep their records active by responding to the
annual questionnaire must also be transferred to this
inactive group. Nurses placed in the third reserve
may be reinstated by notifying Headquarters of their
availability and fitness for service, and submitting
the annual questionnaire. II
We are indeed sorry that it has become necessary to
place you in the third reserve but this will not affect your status
as an enrolled Red Cross nurse. This classification means that you
will not receive annual address questionnaires in the future,
neither will you be approached for active service.
May we assure you of our interest in you and of our
good wishes at all times.
Sincerely yours,
Mary Beard
Director, Nursi
