Title

Letter from Madge Burney to Frank McLurk

Description

Letter from Burney to McLurk, Regional Director of the American Red Cross

Burney writes McLurk asking for instructions to create “kit bags” for American soldiers fighting in World War II.

Burney was an active member of the ARC during the war years, and it seems much of her focus during this time, like most others, shifted almost entirely to the war efforts
