Manuscripts
The material was donated by the former members of the 73rd Evacuation Hospital Unit when an exhibit was held in 1983 and 1984, and a permanent collection was created by the Los Angeles County Medical Association at its library. Correspondence took place mainly between the former members and Lewis Bullock and Elizabeth Crahan at the library. The conversations were centered around reunion dinners and the donation of the personal stuff from the wartime to the exhibit and permanent collection at the library. The letters are from the 1980s. Manuscripts seem to be compiled for the exhibit; they show the actions of the unit and the things they achieved as well as what individual members felt, saw, and experienced far away from home during World War II. Included are duplicates of photographs which seem to be the identical with ones in the Photograph section of this collection, copies of historical documents such as official military memorandums and a report of a military action from the wartime, and the former unit members' writings such as essays, diaries, and memoirs. The writings by the former unit members are: "Clinical Survey of Eighty-Six Cases of Scrub Typhus" by Clarence M. Agress and Edward R. Evans; "Contribution of Hospital in Time of War" by L.J. Tragerman; "Memoirs" by John Salyer; and "My Diary of Experiences in India" by Ethel H. Weber. Furthermore, there are some documents regarding reunion dinners held in 1978 and 1983.
