Author Biographical Info

Hermann Hospital was a public hospital endowed by George Hermann (1843-1914) with a fortune accumulated through investments in oil and real estate. The hospital opened south of downtown Houston in the summer of 1925. It merged with Memorial Hospital in 1999 to create Memorial Hermann Health System. The original Spanish-style building is now part of Children's Memorial Hermann in the northwest corner of the Medical Center.

Description

Transcription: the best treat of all is indoor bathrooms. We hope to soon have hot water so we may again take tub baths - instead of helmet baths. The French people are very nice and can really tell tales about the Germans - which we always delight in hearing. We all like France fine but shall be very happy when the war is over and we can again return and see our Statue of Liberty waving at us. Happy day - for everyone. There is much I'd like to tell you but which I am unable to say. So I guess that's about all for now. If you ever have time to drop me a few lines
