Anonymous letter about the quality of WWI nurses

An anonymous writer discusses the need for women committed to work overseas. He writes in startlingly unflattering terms about World War I nurses: "We need thousands of trained nurses, but have a plethora of fat, ungainly, slovenly women and anaemic, lean, lank and angular old maids. If some of the latter were to bend over my wounded cot my temperature would jump ten degrees at the sight of them."
