April 1st, 1939.My dear Miss Turner:
Do not worry over my affair. I am well again. This letter will reach you as a friend has promised me to mail in America.
It is difficult to remain after such an unpleasant experience in January. But there is one life to live and one must live to the fullest extent in term of service to mankind. I have said that I will be a door mat to my friends in order to be of some service to my people. Inspite [sic] of everything I am happy in my work.
For four months I took care of six thousand refugees in camps. With a staff of five nurses we were able to prevent epidemics among these poor refugees. Twenty five babies were born in camps and seven thousand came to our daily clinics in three months. We only lost four people in these four winter months, one case of pneumonia, one case diptheria, one case neglected transverse position and one died of old age.
You must have learned about the unpleasant experience of my detention for 19 days in prison with my nephew. He got sick but I stood everything well. Trials were most unpleasant and tedious. But truth must win in the end. So I won my battle. They could find nothing and they had to give me freedom. In sight of our friends they think I am an intelligent danger. In fact I only want [to] do my work as serve our women and children who need my service. I am not interested in political affairs at all. They are mistaken in thinking that I have anaything [sic] against the present situation.
My letters may have never reached you. You can write to me but do not mention anything about political affairs. Darkness is what they want us to have. Light, right and truth win in the end. We are in very hopeful situation. Colleges anduniversities [sic] have moved SouthWest.
Your namesake is studying French and English. She has ability for languages. That is why I am letting her start in French early.
With much love from all of us. Yours lovingly _ _ _ _
