Scope and Contents

When United States participation in the war became an unpleasant reality, the government sent out an appeal to all the country's leading medical centers to help with the war effort. Two units from Mayo Clinic served in New Guinea and the Philippines. Dr. Charles W. Mayo was a lieutenant colonel with one of the units. Much of the correspondence is between Hinckley and Dr. Charles W. Mayo.
