“GOME English reviewers of my book O (‘Yankee Doctor in Paradise’) seem to think I had a poor opinion of the Australians. I can’t see how they read that into it. If I were not an American, I would wish to be a citizen of Australia,” says Dr, S. M. Lambert in a personal letter to the “PIM” from USA.
“In fact, at one time, I came under the influence of E»r. Philip Clark, of Cairns, and that environment so attracted me that I almost decided to join up at his invitation with Clark in practice. That was the time the pound sterling took a nose-dive, in 1919, and I reconsidered.
“Best wishes to the ‘PIM,’ and to my many friends in Australia. I hope they won’t find the Yankees en masse too much for them. The time has come when we must all hang together—or we’ll all hang separately.”
