Notes:

Greenleaf shared the following observations regarding camp #83:

“The hospital has provided an excellent series of lectures and demonstrations, which, so far have been of great service to most of us in our work.  It is interesting to note that the hospital has not offered these classes to other attendants not in C.P.S.  Similar classes are planned for the wives of C.P.S. men and there is also a plan afoot for advanced studies in related subjects.”

“...An eccentric bus...wanders back and forth between the hospital and the town [Warren, PA]. There are some good stores in the town and you are usually able to fulfill most of your needs provided the war hasn’t eliminated the supply (we spent three hours one day looking for a can opener)."

Greenleaf also noted that as soon as a patient was able to work, the superintendent considered the type of experience in which he or she could likely be successful.  "Some of the patients work on our many farms, others care for the grounds, work in the laundry, printing room, sewing room etc."
