Elmer to folks at home. 1933 May 20, Kalgan, China. AL, 6 pp. -- Expresses his interest in his brother Harold’s medical school plans – should be on his way soon to Loma Linda. Inquires whether Lawrence will be going there as well. The weather is cold; he has planted 6 dozen tomato plants, but doesn’t expect many to survive. Discusses the hospital’s finances - the Division Committee took away their budget thus they have had to be self-supporting. The clinic averages 35-40 patients every afternoon. Talks of a couple of patients who had been at death’s door, but now recovered. Enjoying the Victrola on which they play Stephen Foster records. Would like to have some hymns and pipe organ pieces. Speaks of the Russian nurse that Harry Miller brought from Shanghai, and about Dr. Miller’s work and connections within the Chinese government. Elmer and Leatha went to Peiping on business. Working on their yard and garden.
