Dear Doctor Allen:

I am wondering whether or not you saw in the Leslie
Edmonds colum within the last two days a reference to you ‘being
eriticized by the medical profession.

This came as a. distinct surprise to me for I had not heard
it mentioned by any physician in several years. I believe you will
recall that some years ago this question was brought up before the
State Medical Society but no progress was made.

I am wondering, therefore, if this is just one of his
methods of taking an additional "shot" at you, or whether a new ovt-
break may likely occur. If you have any information and if you desire
me to have it I would be glad to have it. I have as you lmow,
occasion to be in various sections of the state and certainly would
not hesitate to talk to physicians about the proposition. My in-
clination is to believe that Edmonds merely wished to bring up some-
thing that practically everyone had forgotten.

Please consider this letter confidential.
