Dear Miss Dunbar:
In reply to your letter dated February 10, I am particularly
interested to know that my marital status does not hinder me from join-
ing the Army Nursing Corps, as I have contacted a lawyer and he states
that it will take at least three months to obtain an annulment, or
divorce and he also states that it is not compulsory to use any name
other than Catherine J. Wilson.
As the need for Army Nurses is acute, I would like to enlist
in the Army Nursing Corps, as soon as possible. I would like to enlist
for overseas duties, wherever the need is greatest, preferably Africa.
I am enclosing a copy of the reference given to me upon
leaving England by Miss Alice Olson, and also a copy of the report of
the work achieved during my stay in Glasgow, for the American Red Cross,
after the American Red Cross Harvard Field Unit had disolved.
I am returning the cape and coat to Headquarters, as requested,
and will wait for instructions from the office of the Services to the
Armed Forces as to the disposition of the other uniform and overcoat
which I have in my possession.
Waiting to hear from you, I remain
Sincerely yours,
Catherni J. Wilson
Catherine J. Wilson
