My grandfather's diary from 1935-1936
My grandfather's diary(1935-1936). Very happy that my parents had preserved this diary. It took considerable time to decipher the handwriting but it sure was a fun project. With help from a number of people including my neighbor, husband, son, my siblings and of course Google, we have deciphered most of the pages. I have enclosed the deciphered document as well the original pages. In the diary he describes about the Rockefeller Foundation fellowship, getting the American visa and travel preparations. He also describes his ship journey up to Egypt. Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship to U.S.A 5th April 1935 Had been to Calcutta. Saw an advertisement for the appointment of 3 Research Assistants to Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship(R.F.F) Lt. Col Stevans and Dr. Morpheus - promised to help me. Consulted Dr. W.C.Sweet. Advised by him to apply and promised to try to get me a fellowship to USA by RF. Did research work on guinea worm disease in Chitra
