Apparently Jan Schuck missed seeing Arnold in Boston on his return from Newfoundland. She recently hiked Mt. Washington in New Hampshire with Ruth and Clem in a blizzard.
St. Anthony is a town on the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland.

Arnold, Clem Hiebert and Jerry Foster wrote up their summer work in Twillingate as a report to the Public Health Department. The other medical students were impressed that Arnold was able to take over the Lewisporte, Newfoundland, practice as a substitute doctor while their main doctor was on leave or vacation.

Jan Schuck writes Arnold about her experiences flying from Twillingate to Gander and returning to Boston. Clem Hiebert, Jerry Foster, Jan, and Ruth departed at the beginning of September, leaving Arnold behind for another four weeks. Ruth here may be the future wife of Jerry Foster.
The Norseman was a Canadian single-engine airplane designed to handle unimproved surfaces and land and take off on water. Apparently as Jan and the others landed in Gander, the airplane caught on fire and Jerry Foster put it out with an extinguisher.

A couple of Arnold's Kodacolor photos from Newfoundland, presumably near Twillingate, where he was interning at the Notre Dame Bay Memorial Hospital for three months (July–September):

Dolly's death seems to have turned both Hazel and Bill to their respective religions for comfort. Hazel is confident in her Presbyterian faith, and Bill, born and raised Catholic, may return to that church or explore the similar Episcopalian Church or even join his wife's church.

Hazel writes Arnold a few days after Dolly's funeral. She was buried in her wedding gown in Forest Lawn Cemetery, where eight years later, Arnold's first-born son will be buried (though eventually disinterred and moved to a cemetery in Florida to make run for Arnold's sister Laura in the 1990's).
The list of relatives mentioned in the letter include: Tony Nevis (Bill's brother), Tony's son Stanley Nevis and his wife Betty, Bill's sister Isabelle (Belle) Nevis Bettencourt, Bill's sister Mary Ann Nevis Silva, Bill's sister Della Nevis Gomes and her husband Henry, Hazel's brother Les Wolfe (Sr.) and his wife Lenore, and a number of Bill's nephews and nieces, including Amelia Gomes, Alvin Gomes, Alice Gomes, Laura Nevis Mello, Bob Mello, Jerry Mello, Laura Mello, Edwin Buddy Mello, Katherine (Catherine) Mello, Ray and Mary Gomes, and Hazel and Tom Batti. The others cited were Leonard's wife Pat's "Aunt Be" and "Uncle Dave" and neighbors Larry and Helen Gibney. The two businesses were Bill's company, the Ideal System Company and Wayne's Goss Cleaners.
