Then we moved up on to the great central plain to Poona, where we had a couple of days looking around monist the convalescents from Mesopotamia, and where we left one of the Cornell fellows who came with us. Nash was sent directly to Murree, where the opening of a new field needed a man at once. The other Cornell fellow and myself were lucky enough to be sent down to Bangalore, away to the south and called the garden city of India. There we had a wonderful...
