COMMITTEE ADVISED
Miss Betty Lou Wilson
NOV 3 1943 $
Mills Road, R.F.D. 8
Richmond, Va.
My dear Miss Wilson:
Your physical has been approved by our Red Cross medical advisor
and we are now in a position to offer you an appointment as Staff Nurse
with one of the civilian emergency hospitals in the Hawaiian Islands which
is under the jurisdiction of the Emergency Medical and Hospital Service of
The Territorial Office of Civilian Defense in the Territory of Hawaii.
This position carries the salary of $112.50 per month, including full
maintenance and the laundering of your uniforms. Your salary will start
from the time you take your Oath of Office in San Francisco, as will also
the terms of your employment with the Office of Civilian Defense, in
accordance with the employment regulations enclosed.
As you have noted, we have advised you to take your own hospital
cape. However, we shall supply you with three Red Cross caps and eight
Red Cross insignia to be worn on your uniforms. These are now being
sent from our Supply Department and should reach you within a short time.
This equipment is in the form of a loan and you will be expected to re-
turn it to this office whenever you terminate your service there.
The required immunizations are smallpox, triple typhoid and tetanus
toxoid. If you have not been vaccinated for small, OX within the past
year, a repeat vaccination is advised. As both the tetanus and typhoid
inoculations are given in a' series covering several weeks, you will need
to start these at once. If your immunizations are not completed before
you leave home, arrange to take the medication with you, and if an inocula-
tion comes due while you are in San Francisco, please get in touch with Miss
Gladyce Badger, Civic auditorium, Larkin & Grove Streets, who is in charge
of our Pacific Area Office, and who will make arrangements for this to be
given. Enclosed are duplicate immunization forms. One is to be returned
to this office, the other you will keep with you at all times. In case
your inoculations have not been completed before you leave the Mainland,
please return one immunization register to this office, indicating the
time that the series will have been completed.
Enclosed please find the following:
1. Employment regulations
2. Supplementary information
3. Du licate immunization registers
