I wish I could hear the sounds of the trains as they roared through the black caverns-- and be swayed and toppled when they came to a screetching halt..." current

The hospital is situated a few miles away from the dispensary, and further inland. To avoid being lonely on the journey, I took a jeep along for company and we both went rattling merrily on our way. Soon, we were laboriously climbing upwards among the craggy hills, along the steep, winding, treacherous new guinea roads. Up and up we went, and as we ascended t..."

The Murray Dingell Bill — providing, in effect, for the socialization of medicine in the country — is now before congress and is very likely to pass. That makes it more imperative than ever that I take up a specialty if I hope to make any progress in medicine. Therefore, I'll have to take about three years of advanced training — postgraduate school and residencies..."

This is very much better than air mails, which have been taking between 25 and 30 days to get here. V-mails can't contain very much, but the great difference in time makes them worthwhile. our spirits have been all hopped up again, although nothing concrete has happened. We are scheduled to move up along the line — but to remain in new guinea. Presumably, we wil..."

After the novelties and the adjustments of the first couple of weeks are over — there is nothing left for us to do but sit around here in a sort of semi-uselessness for the next year or so — and wait for the war to end. I spend practically the whole day in reading — a pleasant enough occupation at that. Now I'll have to interrupt my reading every few minutes to put merchurochrome on pimples and then go back to the book again...." current

But our mail service is so disrupted by the constant moving about, that I received no mail from you last week. The vicissitudes of army life are upon me once again. Local living circumstances have been improving steadily recently. The officers finally have a roughshod table to eat on and are being served in a porcelainware service available to us for that purpos..."

The climate in new guinea is, as you expect, not very salubrious. It is always extremely damp and it rains at least once very day during the dry season. Further inland it gets extremely hot but in out spot on the shore it has been so far quite tolerable. There is always s c..." current

After much thought on the matter and in the final analysis, the best way to describe him would be to say that 'he's a nice guy'. A Lutheran some forty odd years --- he's a very even tempered fellow -- of impeccable ministerial behavior and remarkably tolerant of every one else's conduct. His religion is one wholly of faith and not of philosophy, and he is willing to accept anybody elses convictions as as being as worthy as his -- that is..."
