Two letters from social service workers in Turkey recount the Smyrna disaster period. Agnes Evon and Beatrice Hodge describe U S destroyer evacuations, looting, fires, and refugee relief amid Turkish Armenian and Greek tensions, with crews and Americans aiding orphans and hospitals. They note danger, fear, and moments of humor as they assist in the Armenian and Turkish quarters.
