Miss Fara Sullivan
El Centro Hospital
El Centro, California
My dear Miss Sullivan:
We have just been advised by Washington that the definite date of
sailing is not known, but that immediate prospects are unlikely. We realise
that this information is a disappointment to you, a.s it is to us, but on the
other hand, we are confident that you can well understand that with the
rapid developments in the War zone, the Government must use all available
transportation for troops and personnel of the military forces.
It is not possible for us to predict when the War Department can
arrange for our sailing, but there may be a delay of approximately two months.
For this reason, we should like to hear from you at your earliest convenience
whether you wish to have us keep your name on the list, or have it withdram.
If the former, it would be necessary for you to arrange with your employer
for your release as soon as word is received that transportation has been
arranged. In that case, you should keep the travelers checks which you have,
but understand of course, that none of them ean be used until you actually
purchase your railroad ticket to San Francisco, or port of embarkation. If
you decide to have your name withdrawn, the sub-advance should be returned,
but you will receive instructions later about how to convert the travelers
checks.
Again, may we say how much we regret this delay, but we are confi-
dent that you will accept this news in the same fine spirit which prompted
you to answer the call.
Cordially yours,
(Miss) Gladyce L. Badger
