Miss Catherine S. Dover
Wave Crest Convalescent Home
Far Rockaway, New York
My dear Miss Dover:
We are indeed glad to hear from you and to have your
present address. Since we should like to bring your records
up-to-date, will you fill out and return to us promptly the
enclosed annual address questionnaire.
Even though you cannot serve with the military, I should
like to tell you that we are counting on your help by way of
encouraging nurses eligible for the First Reserve to apply for
enrollment in the Red Cross Nursing Service. This, as you no
doubt know, is the first step in an assignment for active duty
with the armed forces. There is such a grave need for thousands
of additional nurses to serve at this time and we are hoping
therefore, that every enrolled nurse will take it upon herself
to interest at least one or two nurses in enrollment and see
to it that they obtain application papers from the Secretary of
the Local Committee. In your area the Secretary of the Committee
is Miss Marie H. Brunjes, 7 Hanover Place, Brooklyn, New York.
We shall look forward to receiving your annual address
questionnaire as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours,
Mary Beard
MP/mcb
Director, Nursing Service
