Putnam was the daughter of James Jackson Putnam, a celebrated Harvard neurologist who promoted Freud's psychoanalytic theories in the US before WW1. She worked in various US and French hospitals during the war and as a secretary in the US Air Service in Paris. Her letters give vivid descriptions of life in wartime France.
Cover stained and spine torn, but otherwise the book is good.
