ere a a + LAF c. MAIL ROOM RECEIVED No.1 Mrs. December 1DEC943 1942 Referred; to nursing M J Miss Mary Beard, R.N. Director, Nursing Service S American Red Cross National Headquarters Washington, D.C. My dear Miss Beard: M In answer to your letter of Nov. 27,1942, I am - Pleased to inform you that I have received word from Captain Ida W. Danielson, A.N.C., Chicago, Ill., to the effect that if I lose suffieient weight and when I do, they will re-consider my application. I am very anxious to join the service and cannot I understand why they are so strict regarding a matter which I consider rather trivial, because my weight has a never bothered me in any way, it is and always has been S well distributed and what people sometimes term as "solid". 5 Since the time I was enrolled in the Red Cross, I have gained a little, probably due to the fact that I 5 was on private duty and did not get as much exercise as I ordinarily do. But nowthat I am working general duty e once more, I have started to lose and with the aid of my doctor's advice, a diet which will help, I hope that I shall lose very soon. Although I wish that Capt. Danielson will be lenient in requiring the amount of weight I must lose, becauseI would like very much to be in service by January 1, 1943 and that really does not leave me much time. May I hear your opinion on this and whatever advice you may have to offer me? Very truly yours, June m. Sus Shane, R.T. June M. DuShane, R.N. 10, I
