Dear Molly,

It's very nice to hear from you. The picture you sent of you and Edward was beautiful. It's nice that you and he got engaged! You make a wonderful couple. He may not be able to match you in beauty, but he's got enough intelligence to go around. You two have that in common.

As for my duties here, it tends to vary by the day. We alternate shifts frequently so that no one gets stuck on call at night too many days in a row. There never seems to be an empty moment here. Between our work and the pranks and shenanigans that go on during down time, only once in awhile does it become truly boring. 

But when it is boring, it's extremely boring. Drinking seems to be the most popular pastime here, drinking and gambling. There was a day when two other doctors spent three hours throwing horseshoes because there was just nothing else to do. 

Yes we do treat Koreans, not just US soldiers. We just had a whole troupe of Korean children come to us for tetanus vaccinations these past few days, actually. They're very sweet. It's amazing to think how horrible life has treated them, yet they still act like children.  It sort of restores your faith in humanity.

How's San Francisco? One of the surgeons here is from Mill Valley! His wife Peg is back home with their baby daughter, Erin. He talks about home all the time. Makes me wonder what you're up to, and what Jack's up to. I hope everything's going well. Really I do. 

Ad Infinitum, Ad Meliora.

Sincerely,

Nellie O'Hara
