 For
some cause the doctor took the route via Adana, rather than by
Alexandretta, and found himself in the midst of an unsafe country with
insufficient escort. After a delay of two or three days, he got a
dispatch to us at Constantinople. This dispatch was immediately sent
through our legation to the Porte, and directly returned to me with the
written assurance that the proper steps had been instantly taken. On the
same day Dr. Harris left Adana with a military escort that took his
expedition through, leaving it only when safe in Marash.

Dr. Hubbell had arrived some days previous, but following instructions
left immediately on the arrival of Dr. Harris, to pursue his
investigations in the villages, and supply the general need of the
people wherever found. This formed really the fourth expedition in the
field at that early date, as the separate charges later so efficiently
assumed by Messrs. Wistar and Wood, who were on the ground previous to
the medical expedition, became known as the second and third
expeditions.

It will be inferred that the assignment, furnishing and direction of
these several expeditions, nearly a thousand miles distant, four weeks
by personal travel, six weeks to write a letter and get reply, from two
days to almost any time by telegraph, according to the condition of the
wires, and in any language from Turkish and Greek to Arabic, with all
other duties immediately surrounding, could not leave large leisure for
home correspondence. While conscious of a restlessness on this score, we
began to be mystified by the nature and text of dispatches from
committees at home: "Contributors object to Turkish distribution." What
could it mean? We could only reply: "Do not understand your dispatch.
Please explain." These were followed by others of a similar character
from other sources; finally letters expressing great regret at the means
to which I had been compelled to resort in order to accomplish my
distribution, and the disastrous effect it could not fail to have upon
the raising of funds. "Well, it was probably the only way to do, they
had expected it, in fact, foretold it all the time."--What had I done?
The mystery deepened. Finally, through the waste of waters and the lapse
of time it got to me.--A little four-line cablegram
