Miss Brown writes from St. Anthony on August 28th: “The
enlargement of the hospital is a great success. The lower ward is open and at
present nearly all the beds are full in it. We have one tent up and have three
men in it, and two tuberculosis shacks are being planned for to be placed on
the hillside. It is fine, I think. Mr. Halsey has put in most of the plumbing;
the staff bathroom is finished and is truly the joy of our hearts! Dr. Little
simply dotes on it! We have the large bath, gorgeous white toilet, wash-basin,
and doctor’s scrub-up basin all in one room, and a toilet and wash-basin in the
patients’ bathroom. Many of Mr. Halsey’s things not having arrived, keeps the
work at a standstill . . . The new stove and boiler are fine . . .”

. . . The operating room, given entirely by Miss Meta O. Fowler of
Baltimore in memory of her mother, is in the process of completion. The walls
and the floor are to be in keeping with the rest of the room. The work will be
a credit to Mr. Halsey and his assistants, who are striving to make it the best
that can be had in so remote a corner of the country, and it will greatly aid
the surgeons who are so faithfully rendering help. The Prospero, which arrives
fortnightly during open water, is bringing patients by the thirties. Eight
operations in one day is a good record for this little place and many a poor man
gives thanks to God for the comforts and relief found here.
E. E. W., Secretary
