    "ocrText": "THE AMERICAN RED CROSS\nPACIFIC DIVISION HEADQUARTERS\nTo\nMiss Clara D. Noyes, Director,\nDate\nMarch 20, 1922.\nNursing Service.\nFrom\nMiss Lillian L. White\nSubject\nI am attaching correspondence with Alma Wrigley which is\npractically\nself-explanatory. At a Veterans' Bureau Conference in San Francisco\nJanuary 5th, Dr. Allen, Chief Officer at Arrowhead, told our Director of Hospital\nSocial Service that he had just received a telegram from Arrowhead that Miss\nWrigley had received notice of transfer and evinced much surprise; not hearing from\nMiss Wrigley, I supposed she had not moved after all, but the matter of the\nforgery of her name was brought to my attention by Miss Minnie Taylor, who has\nalways stood well in California and who is now our Red Cross Instructor in\nRiverside, California; she was, and is, extremely indignant 80 I wrote Miss\nWrigley with the enclosed as the result.\nMiss Wrigley has stood for the right at Arrowhead and although her\nmethods may have appealed to those in charge and to the Bureau as possibly too\nradical, nevertheless, a forgery of one's name is a pretty momentous question\nand if not thoroughly looked into would, I am sure react badly on the service.\nMiss Wrigley has many friends among prominent lay people and nurses\nalso, and I can't see how she can leave a stone unturned to right this matter\nif only, as she says for the good of other nurses.\nI don't know if, officially, you can enter into this matter, but\ncertainly Miss Wrigley is a Red Cross Nurse of years standing and while we have\nno authority after a nurse's assignment, still this thing could happen again and\nit seems to me involves more than internal hospital affairs.\nSincerely yours,\nLucian Lewture\nLillian L. White, R.N.,\nDirector, Nursing Service.\nLLW. KM\nno correspondence m parket re this matter\nonly have record of transfer to u.s. P.M.S. James"
