Miss Ethel Trainor,
705 Dallas Street,
Selm, Ala.
My dear Miss Trainor:
Your understand that your action in refusing to accept
temporary cantonment service has debarred you from receiving
a foreign assignment under the military organization. Your
letter from the Superintendent of the Army Narsa Corps states
this definitely. We rogest very rouch that you should have
placed yourself in such a position as it leaves us powerless
to si ve you the military service.
However, we have been asked to furnish a number of nur-
ses for surgical service in France and if you desire such an
assignment will be glad to place your name on the list of
murses available for this service.
Please do not give up any position which you may hold or
make any preparation until you are definitely requested to do
so from this office. We can give you no definite date of
your assignment at present. There are many formalities that
must be complied with before we can even approximitely state
the date upon which we would wish you to eail should you. de+
sire this assignment. Neither can We dafinitely promiss
nurses a certain assignment in France. We can and do state
their qualifications to our representative there, but the
marses who go over under the auspices of the Red Cross are
expected to accept the assignment to which they ar a detailed
without question, as only those on the ground know the naces-
sities of the situation from day to day. Kindly let me kchow
if you are willing to accept this assignment.
Awaiting your reply, I am,
Very sincerely yours,
Director, Bureau of Field Nursing Service.
