Letter to William Osler, April 21, 1916
Item
Letter to William Osler from William C. Gorgas, Surgeon General's Office, Washington, District of Columbia, USA. Acknowledges his letter of March 30th. Sorry that he could not join in , but the President did not suggest it and he felt that he could not ask it. Mentions the problems with the Mexicans and the Germans. List of the officers : Alfred E. Bradley, Clyde S. Ford, William J. L. Lyster. They are all first-rate men and anxious for the work. Will notify him when they leave. Thanks for having brought about this detail and giving the officers an opportunity to see something of actual conditions in Europe. Osler's appeal to the President was determining. Civilities.
