Title by cataloger. Information accompanying this image states that the letter was sent as a request to General Hoerner to consider using First Lt. Lillie as a model for a life size statue of the U.S. Army Nurses Corp that was to be erected. While the text does not specifically mention a request that Lt. Lillie be used as the model, there is strength in the circumstantial evidence that she was the model. She had not only a copy of Hoerner's letter, but also a sketch of the statue, and was invited to the June 1976 dedication where this photo, showing Lt. Lillie standing next to the statue, was taken.
