M : I e 1742 Nuuanu Ave. , Honolulu, T.H. April 22,1944. 'A. R. E. MAIL ROOMT RECEIVED D Miss Mary Beard, MAY1-1944 National Director, American Red Cross, Washington, D.C. mo , Dear Miss Beard: e Although I have been with the O.C.D. since October,1942, I still feel that I am part of the Red Cross and wish to come to you with my problems. Recently Dr Arnold confirmed what we long had had rumors of - that the Sacred Hearts Hospital was to be closed. I have been night supervisor here for almost two years, and hope I have done satisfactory work. My health has been excellent, not having lost a day due to illness. My problem is this: I do not wish to go back home as long as the war lasts, but neither do I care to join the staff of a private hospital for the duration. If I had some assurance that I would have the opportunity to move on with the Red Cross to any advance post in the Pacific that might be established, I would be more than willing to continue on here until that time came. If such a post is not contemplated, would there be I an opportunity for duty in some other field? How- ever I would like to move on toward the Orient if possible. In addition to my nursing, I have had library experience and am a fair typist. I have enjoyed working with the Red Cross and feel that you have been more than fair in all of your dealings with the nurses here. Sincerely yours, Helen menutt California 8
