Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Intimate Letters From France During America´s First Year of War These letters, written without thought of publication, are now printed in the belief that the reader may find in them a source of inspiration and comfort. The writer has served for years in ways which have peculiarly fitted her for her present duties. As the founder of the Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Association in San Francisco and the Bothin Convalescent Home for women and children in Marin County, California, she has successfully met many of the same problems of organization for the relief of suffering which now confront the Children´s Bureau of the American Red Cross in France. Thus from her knowledge of the sick and neglected at her own door she has been enabled to deal wisely and generously with those whom she now serves. From the beginning of the war her desire for active service in France has been great, and as early as October, 1914, she offered her services to the New York representatives of the American Red Cross but was not then needed for overseas duty. When America entered the war she again volunteered for active service with the National Red Cross Nursing Service, but being past the prescribed age limit was not accepted. Finally, however, having passed all tests, she signed for duty with Base Hospital 30 formed at the University of California Hospital, San Francisco and was awaiting her orders in June, 1917, when Dr. William Palmer Lucas returned from Washington where he had been called to form the first pediatric unit to be sent to France. The great need of the work is described in the extract from the American Red Cross Bulletin printed on the following page. Dr. Lucas realized the vital importance of the nursing service to the success of the undertaking, and knowing her ability and experience, urged upon Miss Ashe her acceptance of the task of organization.
