Letter from President of the Red Cross.
The White House, Washington, August 5, 1909.
Mrs. Margaret B. Simon,
Louden and Camac streets, Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Mrs. Simon: Through the President of the Pennsylvania Red Cross Branch I have learned of your brave and helpful action on July 15, at the time of the serious accident caused by the collapse of a building in the city of Philadelphia. As President of the American Red Cross permit me to express to you its sincere appreciation of the services you gave in the capacity of Red Cross nurse in rendering first aid to so many of the victims and at so much risk to your own life.
The knowledge that the society has enrolled so courageous, faithful and valuable a nurse as yourself is a great satisfaction to its officers and an inspiration to its nursing corps.
Sincerely yours,
WM. H. TAFT.
