    "ocrText": "March 19, 1925\nMrs. Ella F. McGovern Stackable,\nGregory, Michigan.\nMy dear Mrs. Stackable:\nIn reply to your latter addressed to Mins Noyes,\ndated March 16, the nurses who are eligible for either the state bonus\nor the Federal Compensation are those who served directly the military\nforges during the war, or in other words, whe were Federalized, that is,\ntook the oath of allegiance. Your records show that you served during\nthe late war directly under the American Red Cross and though it is true\nyou were assigned to the American Red Cross military hospitals you were\nnot at that time Federalized. You were loaned but not attached to the\nArmy. Your other services were directly under the Red Cross.\nIt is quite true that many of the American Red\nOross nueses are receiv ing the bonus both State and Federal, but this\nis because they were assigned to the Arny Nurse Corps serving directly\nwith the military forces. The nurses also who served in the Sanitary\nZones with the U. S. Public Health Service were not Federalized and\nthey are not eligible for the bonus.\nWe regret deeply to hear that/you have been handi-\ncapped since your return from service and it is unfortunate that at the\ntime you did not take up with us the question of your injuries. I am\nsure you remember that you received the usual information relative to the\nRed Oross insurance issued to the Red Cross personnel who served over seas.\nUnfortunately the injuries you speak of in your letter today do not appear\non any of your records on file in this office. Your splendid efficiency\nreport mentioned your health as good both from your service in France and\nyour later service in Germany and the Balkans.\nWe are again calling your name to the attention\nof Mrs. Isabello Baker, Director, classes in Home Hygiene and Care of\nthe Sick. I am sure you understand that as spring is approaching, it\nis not always possible to organize classes in Home Hygiene and Care of\nthe Sick, but I am sure that Mrs. Baker will be glad to have her attention\ncalled to you through this office.\nWe shall be glad to hear from you again if you\nthink it is possible for us. to connect your diaability directly with your\nwer service. I have scrutinized your papers carefully, however, and can-\nnot find any record which would help us in establishing a disability claim.\nWe have so many efficiency records for you, one signed by Miss Hay, one by\nMiss Caroline Robinson rolative to your work with the Serbian Thild Welfare"
