Arnold's Story: April 14, 1950

Bill mailed that letter and check late in the day on Wednesday, April 12th, and it has already arrived on Friday, April 14th. 

Arnold had planned for a clerkship at the University of California, Berkeley, but now decides to do an internship at a hospital in Twillingate, Newfoundland, Canada. He thinks it will prepare him better to become a medical missionary in Korea. The extra money he saves flying coach instead of deluxe about $90 in 1950 (about $1000 in 2021) will cover his expenses in Newfoundland for three months.

Bill asks Arnold to make a surprise visit to the New York office of the family firm to check up on how things are run there.

$400 in 1950 dollars is $4400 in today's money, so quite a generous gift.
