Bennett Phelps, Director of Military

Secretary Baker say in his letter:
Since the American Red Cross
has already established in Frances
in accordance with an army order, a
service to keep families in America
in personal touch with their boys, i'll
or wounded in the field, it is suggested
that this service be extended to the
camps Of the United States. American
Red Cross representatives at the camps
here, as in France, would have access
! to daily lists of admissions and
excavations from the hospitals, and,
so far as it is in accord with necessary
medical rules, would be allowed to
talk with sick men. They would be
expected to keep families constantly
informed as to the condition and
progress of men in the hospitals, to
write themselves, and in general to
fulfill that clause of the Red Cross
which designated the society as "a
medium of communication between
troops in the field and their families"
