Roser.\n179 Fort Washington Aveas\nNew York City.\nMy dear Miss Roser:\nOn May 23rd of this year we sent you a letter notify=\ning you of your appointment as a Red Cross nurse. On the same date we\nalso mailed you under separate cover your appointment card and badge\ntogether with a post card which you were instructed to fill in and\nreturn to this office.\nA month has elapsed and we have had no acknomledgnent\nfrom you. We are greatly worried lest the badge and card may not have\nreached you. These articles are almays the property of the Red Cross\nNursing Service. The loss of them is serious owing to the fact that\nthey are apt to fall into the hands of unscrupulous people who exploit\nthem thus bringing discredit upon the American Red Cross,\nMay we take this opportunity to call to your attention\nthat it is the ethical obligtion of every enrolled Red Cross nurse to\nkeep us informed of any change she may make in her name or her permanent\naddress and to reply promptly to any communication from the American Red\nCross.\nWe shall hope for a response to this letter by return\nmail. Please fill in and return the post card, if you have mislaid\nit acknowledge receipt of badge and card by letter and mail to us in\nthe enclosed addressed envelope, be sure and state your Red Cross number\nwhich is engraved on the badge and written on the appointment card.\nIf the articles have not reached you, notify us at once\nand proceed to trace them yourself through the post office of the town\nto which they were sent and the address which you gave us on your applica-\ntion blank. Duplicates cannot be issued until every offort has been made\nto locate the original card and badge.\nHoping for your prompt reply to this letter, I am\nVery truly yours,\na\nClara D. Noyes,\nChairman, National Committee,\nRed Cross Nursing Service\nIFB-cc"
