Both A N.A. membership and registration in the\nstate in which the nurse.is located are requirements. A.N.A. member-\nship, as you no-doubt know, has been waived for the duration for nurses\nwho are interested in serving with the armed forces:\nYour family certainly is having a large part in the war efforts.\n1 realize, too, how difficult it would be for you to leave your father\nand mother in order to go with Mr. Turner, much as I know you would\nlike to be able to do so. Please remember me to him and give my\naffectionate greetings to your dear father and mother. I had a grand\nvacation and feel quite ready for the hard winter's work which 1 am sure\nis ahead of all of us.\nWith sincere good wishes to you for your splencid cooperation,\nI am\nAffectionately yours,\nMarie P terson\nassistant to Director\nNursing Service"
