Elmer to parents. 1933 Jul 1, Kalgan, China. ALS, 7 pp. -- Comments about how long it has taken him to write, receiving letters and packages, excited to hear about Harold’s graduation and then going to Loma Linda [presumably the College of Medical Evangelists]. Speaks of being so weary and how he doesn’t know how he can keep going. Won’t get vacation this year, but is not going to let Leatha work all summer like she did the year before. Sent Leatha off to Peiping to rest. Mr. Erich arrived from Mukden to set up the x-ray equipment and instruct Elmer on its use, but the generator is not providing enough current. Tells how Elder Christensen has been sick for three weeks and so he and his family are going for a month’s vacation at the beach. Have had several important Chinese officials at the hospital – General Fang Chen Wu came to rest for five days. Elmer went with him to review troops and then visit a temple. General Fang promised to make a good offering for a boy’s dormitory. Received a call from General Feng Yu Hsiang to come treat a soldier who was shot in the stomach. Speaks of difficulty in going to Mongolia but his good relations with the military helps. Treating morphine and opium-addicted soldiers, and others.
