From Caroline Harts’ personal journal, At last my preparation of years was rewarded, for I carried in my pocket a half-read letter that appointed me to China. That early afternoon in the spring of 1904 found me hurrying toward the operating rooms of Chicago’s huge Cook County Hospital, at that time said to be the largest charity hospital in the world.
