The following is the report of Miss Forsythe:\n\"A call was made to Miss Sullivan at the El Centro hospital to discuss the letter\nwhich she wrote to Capt. Weider of the Army Nurse Corps. NC found her to be an attractive\ngirl who was feeling very unhappy about her impetuous letter to Miss Weider. She\nyoung is Irish and had resented the tone of Miss Weiders letter to her, but she said that she\nrealized that she was very wrong to answer her as she had. The reason that she said\nwhat she did about the salary was that she has financial obligations which amount to\n$65 a month and army salary would leave her only $5.00 for her needs.\n\"She said that she had meant what she said about being willing to go to a camp as\nsoon as war was declared and she had resigned her position at the hospital as soon\nas that happened. She told NC that she had applied to Miss Banks to be sent to Hawaii\nand has had her physical examination in San Diego the other day.\n\"NC explained the relation of the RC to the Army nurse corps and that letters of\nthe sort she wrote were embarrassing to us. She seems to be genuinely sorry for the\nincident and seems to be well liked at the hospital.\n\"In spite of the impertinent tone of her letter, NC feels that Miss Sullivan should\nbe given another chance to serve either the RC or the Army Nurse Corps. She does not\nseem like the kind of a girl who would be a \"trouble Maker\"\n(Miss) Gladyce L. Badger\nDirector, Nursing Service\nPacific Area, A.R.C.\n1226"
