FORM 336
AMERICAN RED CROSS
NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS
To:
Miss Beard
Date: February 22, 1942
M
From:
Mr. Allen
Subject:
I have read with great interest Mrs. Waring's letter offering
the hospitality of her little house in Devon to the Red Cross also
offering to be of any assistance possible. I would suggest that
you write Miss Madley about Mrs. Waring's wish to be of assistance.
Possibly some of the American nurses might be interested in going
down there although I notice in her letter she states that Miss
Madley had written that they had lots of invitations.
I cannot think of anything that Mrs. Waring might do with
the general American Red Cross effort in Britain. You know that all
of our relief work there is being done through the British Red Cross
and through the W.V.S. and we have only a few field representatives
who travel about the country supervising these activities. Our
program is under-going some changes now, of course, since the
arrival of the American forces in Britain but it seems highly impro-
bable that we would be establishing small recreational centers in
Devon.
When you write Miss Madley, I think we might also send a copy
of the letter to Mr. Carter, our Delegate in Britain. He may have
an idea.
Richard F. Allen
