I\nhave taken upo the matter with the Bureau of Personnel and they\nhave assured me that even a half brother or a step brother\ndebars a nurse from obtaining a passport. We have, however, had\na recent cable from the Commissioner of Europe stating that he\nwould make every effort to have the ruling concerning brothers\nin the service modified. I would, therefore,ask that you wait\nuntil we have more definite information concerning this ruling,\nand in the meantime,I would urge that you do not give up your\nposition or purchase any equipment until definitely requested to\ndo so as you will have ample time to make all necessary arrange-\nments.\nMr. Hooper has forwarded a copy of your letter\nof June 24th, to him for the files here, and I wish to state that\nyou are laboring under a misapprehension concerning the assign-\nment of base hospital 114. Last October 7 nurses ,especially\nselected, were sent to England for instruction in Orthopedic\nwork pending the opening of this hospital. All other nursing\npersonnel for this hospital were assigned temporarily to the\ncantonment before mobilization of the hospital for foreign\nservice.\nHoping that this will straighten out the matter\nof your assignment temporariby in your own mind,an regretting\nthat there has been anything to delay your acceptance for\nservice,I am,\nVery sincerely yours,\nLM/MEA\nP. S. We appreciate your interest in the Red Cross and trust\n-\nthat we shall soon be able to assign you."
