Arnold's Story: August 16, 1948

This Mrs. Underwood is most likely Ethel van Wagoner Underwood, wife of Horace Horton Underwood, American educator in Korea (president of Chosun Christian College — predecessor of today's Yonsei University) and documenter of Japanese atrocities there, and not Mrs. Joan Vida Underwood, her daughter in law. Ethel Underwood had a correspondence with thousands of people around the world. Arnold was in touch with her about his desire to become a Presbyterian medical missionary.

Arnold's Story: May 26, 1946

On May 26, 1946, Arnold writes to his parents with photos of Korea and Koreans. I included scans of the backs of the photos because they had Arnold's comments and descriptions. He is later sent home on terminal leave starting August 7, 1946, as he calculates, and officially demobilized in mid September.
