    "ocrText": "G\ne\nFORM 222\nD\nTHE AMERICAN RED CROSS\nNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS\nMiss Noyes, Director,\ne\nTo\nNursing Service.\nDate March 1, 1922,\nS\nMr. Wilson, Supervisor,\ne\nFrom\nSubject\nInsurance Department.\nMiss Agnese H. Gleeson.\nI\nReplying to your memorandum of February 23rd, for-\ne\nwarding a letter from Miss Gleeson, dated the 19th inst., would\n-\nadvise that we have now completed our investigation of this case\nand find the following facts,\n5\nMiss Gleeson enrolled with the Red Cross May 8, 1918,\nreported in New York for duty August 24th and sailed for Foreign\nService September 3rd. She arrived in England September 21, and\nstarted in service at Red Cross Hospital No. 7, Cardifi, Wales,\nSeptember 27th, 1918, where she remained until October 16th, 1918,\nwhen she was transferred to Paris, October 21, 1918, she was sta-\ntioned at the Red Cross Hospital at Belle-Bue-Sur-Seine, where she\nwas disabled in November 1918, for approximately ten days from an\nattack of Influenza, December 15th, she was transferred to Evacua-\ntion Hospital No. 2, Coblenz, Germany, at which place she was taken\nill and sent to Base Hospital No. 6, where a diagnosis was made, and\nshe was found to be suffering from Cardio Vascular trouble. January\n17, 1919, M. Albert S. Morrow, of the Marine Corps, made a state-\nment after examination of Miss Gleeson to the effect that she was in-\ncapable of continuing work, owing to the Cardio Vascular disease.\nShe, therefore, was returned to Paris February 16th and stayed at\nthe Red Cross Club, where Dr. J. R. Morgan made an examination on\nFebruary 18, 1919, and recommended her release and return to the\nStates because of the condition, She sailed for the United States\nMarch 3, 1919, and was examined by the Travelers Insurance Company\nin New York where it was found that she was totally disabled. The\nTravelers paid her at that time $100.00, covering five weeks, up to\nMarch 15th, and Miss Gleeson continued to receive indemnity from the\nCompany up to October 15, 1919, for a total amount of $708.57. The\npayments were discontinued as Miss Gleeson had regained her health to\nand\nthe extent that she was able to return to nursing, which it appears\nshe took up on October 27th, 1919,\nIn Miss Gleeson's letter of October 31, 1921, she for-\nwarded a statement by Dr. S. C. Andrus, showing her condition. This\nexamination disclosed that she had a systolic blood pressure of 198,\nand a diastolic of 96 - with a slight trace of albument This blood\npressure condition disclosed by this examination would apparently not\nshow any difference in Miss Gleeson's condition today than has existed\nfor a number of years past, as she stated to the Examining Physician\nof the Travelers when examined in New York, that approximately two\nyears before she went into foreign service she had a systolic pressure\nof 170 and while in France it was up to 220 systolic - while at the\ntime of the Travelers examination her blood pressure showed then 180\nSystolic and 98 Diastolic."
