September 25,1918.
Miss Theresa Jane Stinson,
6802 Carnegie Ave.,
Cleveland, Ohio.
My dear Miss Stinson:
You were recently sent what we term our Neutral
letter calling your attention to the fact of the opportunity that
existe under our auspices for nurses with special Public Health service.
As you stated in your application you desired foreign
service. We listed you for the Italian personnel, if you desire to go
to Italy'or do you prefer to be transferred to France?
We are not sending out under the auspices of this
Bureau of Field Nursing service, General Public Health workers. The
majority of our nurses are being eent to the Children's Bureau for such
work as has developed under their auspices. Much of it is connected
with institutions, such as orphanages, clinics, dispensaries and sanatoria
of various kinde. All nurses assigned to foreigh service under our
direction must be equally willing to accept any form of service that
is
given to them. For example during the present offensive many of the
nurses were withdrawn from civilian work to serve in the French hospitals
where our wounded men were being sent.
In regard to your leaving for home in Canada after
your preparation ie started, may I suggest that although this is entirely
your responsibility that we cannot issue our ordere or pay transportation
from C nada. It would be necessary for you to roturn to some oint in
the States and from there proceed to New York after you are given the date
of sailing by our Bureau of Transportation.
It takes however, about two months to prepare a nurae
for Foreign Service, after she has expressed her willingness to serve. I
will therefore advise you not to give up your position for a month or six
weeks at the latest.
For full information concerning equipment, etc., apply
to Mis: Gladwin, our Division Director in Clevoland. You understand the
Red Cross provides all equipment for foreign service for its nurses and pays
them a salary of $70 a month, also provides transportation and maintenance.
Believe me as
Very truly yours,
Director, Bureau Ficld Nursing Service.
