The photograph. taken somewhere in Australia, was sent to Mr. Pfeffer by
Lt. Col. L. S. Eaglet) :rger, who recently arrived from overseas and is now at
his home in Waupun, Wis. Lt. Col. Eagleburger wrote:

"It was my pleasure to have been your son's commanding officer while in
New Guinea and Australia. I am now home due to illness but am hoping to get
back before long. Am enclosing two pictures Isadore asked me to mail to you.

"The smaller one is of a group of our doctors. The larger one (the picture
reproduced above) shows Gen. MacArthur on one of his trips to our hospital when
he was congratulating your son on his treatment of Mr. Haugland, the war cor-
respondent.

"I can say that Isadore is well—I saw him last on March 1 of this year—
and as happy as anyone compelled to be away from home for so long. When you
write congratulate him for me on his promotion which is well deserved."

Capt. Pfeffer was born 28 years ago in New York. He has resided in Detroit
since 1921. He was graduated from Northern High school, the College of the City
of Detroit and Wayne University Medical School. He is also a graduate of the
