Title

Letter from B. Laurie to an anonymous recipient

Description

Laurie writes that of the attentions she, and other American nurses, receive from American soldiers: "Now that we have our uniforms, we speak to any American soldiers on the street, and they all grin and salute. Yesterday two passed us on a motorcycle and we heard them say, 'Look there, two girls from Home' 'Looks good,' and our heads would be turned with flattery if we didn't realize what it means to them to talk to an American woman."
