Box 00.0545, Folder 003

Scope and content:

Gier has several letters where she describes her outings in France's social scene, specifically dances she attends. She goes into detail about who attends these dances, such as the English wife of an American officer, and how she wears her hair. She describes the soldiers she is stationed with as brothers, and how they liked to stop by and get 'fussed over." She describes the story her fellow nurses relayed to her about attending a ceremony at Sacred Heart Cathedral. She writes that she usually goes out with officers, though she describes going out with an enlisted man, and how privileged enlisted men act when they are able to take out a nurse.
