Juliana Voorhees received a phone call from the YMCA in New York City informing her that John Voorhees was “doing nicely” and that his life “will be saved.”

And then there's this

Also today, Samuel Prentice received a letter from John Voorhees, dated June 5. Prentice allowed the Courant to publish a substantial excerpt from it as part of the June 25, 1918 article on Voorhees’s condition.

The past recalled

The Courant published an update on Voorhees’s condition on June 22, 1918.

The future foretold

The Courant would publish more details on Voorhees’s condition on August 16, 1918.

For the record

The YMCA’s information came from a cable they had received from France.
The Courant limited its use of the letter to those parts that described Voorhees’s work in France and who from the Greater Hartford area he’d encountered. The Courant described the remainder of the letter was “particularly personal.
