Harvey Cushing: March 20, 1917
The Mayor is out with it in the papers this morning---unfortunately giving the impression that the encampment may be permanent. Pituitary operation. Executive Committee meeting. Dictating laboratory notes in afternoon. At 5 p.m. to a Red Cross organization meeting in Brookline.
Fever, backache, and herpes from my inoculation; so a milk-toast supper and then to the Medical School to persuade the artisans, who have volunteered for the Unit, formally to enroll on the Red Cross blanks. Most of them refused---only 36 signed up (to qualify we need 150). Others wanted to know about wages---and what if we should be called out? This is patriotism.
