My
dear
Dr.McIver:-&
;
lt
; br&
gt
;
&
;
lt
; br&
gt
;
Please
send
me
the
name
and
address
of
all
the
dairies
from
which
you
got
butter
for the
College
.
I
think
I
can
assist
you
in the
investigation
on that
line
by
utilizing
quietly
the
superintendents
of
health
. Also
inform
me
if
you
can
to what
other
points
those
same
dairies
shipped
butter
.
I
believe
that the
water
,
infected,almost
certainly
by the
leaking
sewer,was
the
cause
of the
fever,but
we
ought
to
look
into the
conditions
of those
dairies
.
We
were
speaking
of
it,you
remember,when
I
was with
you
.
I
received
this
P.M.an
anonymous
letter
signed"
;
Friend
of the
College"
; in
which
the
writer
says:"
; for
your
private
information
you
will
find
the
cause
of the
feaver
was
pasturing
the
milch
cows
below
the
sewerage
. The
mlik
and
butter
done
the
work"
; etc. Of
course
I
will not
pay
any
attention
to
it
nor
will
answer
Dr.Stamey
in the
Observer,but
I
will
probably
have
something
to
say
on that
line
in the
next
Bulletin
.
&
;
lt
; br&
gt
;
&
;
lt
; br&
gt
;
Mrs
.
Randall
called
at
my
office
this
evening
and
reported
what
you
were
doing
.
I
know
you
are
overwhelmed
but if
you
could
spare
a
few
minutes
to
your
stenographer
now
and then
I
would
thank
you
for
occasional
reports
of
progress
.
I
learned
from
Mrs.R.with
much
regret
of the
condition
of
two
of
your
sick
and of
Mrs.Bailey'
;
s
illness
.
&
;
lt
; br&
gt
;
&
;
lt
; br&
gt
;
You
have
my
sincere
sympathy
.
&
;
lt
; br&
gt
;
&
;
lt
; br&
gt
;
Very
truly
yours
,
&
