Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fifty Thousand Miles on a Hospital Ship The origin and nature of this little book will be best explained by quoting a couple of extracts from "Forewords" to the original letters. One prefixed to the first Budget:- "I have while in camp written some ´Circular´ letters which have reached a limited number of friends. Now as I launch out into a new sphere the request has come from others that the Budgets may be sent to them also. "I hope all readers will understand that these letters are merely a record of doings and impressions, jotted down at odd times as the opportunity occurs. Life in the Army, ashore or on board, is not conducive to ordinary correspondence, much less to literary effort. "I am a novice at travelling on the sea and in the East, hence there will be many things mentioned which will doubtless be stale to the more experienced globe-trotters." One written later: - "From letters received I fear some of my readers gain a wrong impression - ´What an encouraging time a chaplain has and now nice it is to see so much.´ Well, it is true that a chaplain is granted much encouragement from time to time - but not always. Then also, though he sees much that is new and interesting - both people and scenery - there are many things which he is unwillingly obliged to see and which he would rather be without. "My Budgets do not relate all the incidents of my journeyings. Some things I may not tell on account of censorship; others I cannot - they are either too sad or too horrible.
