Azuma and Tanaka here saying part of us go tomorrow and the rest in a few days. Guess they want a party to get the place ready. Will send half of Medical Officers, fifty corpsmen, cooks and etc, making 72 in all. No word of where we are going but to be an independent unit as an out patient department. Will not receive patients, but will go around to visit the sick. An out patient idea. Don’t think we will go to Pasay, but maybe out Rizal Extension. Each day a surprise. It would be grand to see a speck of mail after four and a half months. A message from home would do, but It is not to be in war time. Draft will be inspected at nine tomorrow and leave at one PM.
