Military Liaison Officer
Red Cross Nurses
Some two weeks ago we received a radio from the Commanding General,
Central Pacific Area, advising us of the pending arrival of Miss
Florence Little, a Red Cross nurse, and Miss Beatrice Morse, her
attendant. Miss Little was suffering from a heart complaint. We
were asked to meet the ship, provide an ambulance and hotellaccommo-
dations and arrange for transportation and pullman to the east coast.
They arrived on June 13th. We met the ship and had Miss Little
taken by ambulance to Letterman General Hospital for a checkup. Hotel
accommodation was secured for Miss Morse. On June 19th we were advised
that Miss Little was able to travel and through a lucky break were able
to secure a compartment to Chicago and a bedroom from Chicago to New
York for the 20th. We checked their baggage through and brought them
to Miss Morse's hotel preparatory to their departure last evening.
A copy of this letter is being sent to Mr. Horace J. Sprague.
