COPY Selma, Ala. July 10, 1918. Surgeon General Gorgas, Washington, D. C. Sir:- I wish to ask for information in regard to passports. I hage been enrolled with the Red Cross for more than seven months for foreign service. I was assigned to Orthopedic base hospital No. 114 but thru a misunderstanding was not permitted to go with this hospital. I think the inclosed letter (copy) will explain why I refused the home service. I have recently bee informed that I could not obtain a passport because I have a half brother in the U. S. Army, altho still in this country. This half brother is seven- teen years old and is now at Camp Jackson, Greenville, S. C. I have not lived in the house with this boy, nor do I have any correspondence with him. I have just recently made application for surgical and anaesthetic service. Was accepted but the question of a passport has come up. Please inform me ifethere is any way out of this difficulty as I am most anxious for service. Respectfully, Ethel Trainor, Ethel Trainor 705 Dallas Avenue, Selma, Alabama.
