a true safey re-mitten a.E. Wrigly TREASURY DEPARTMENT UNITED STATES OFFICE OF PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE MEDICAL OFFICER IN CHARGE U.S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE TUCSON, ARIZ. HOSPITAL No. 51 February226, 1922. Major Duncan MacCalman, General Inspector, U.S.P.H.S. Fort Stanton, New Mexico. Dear Major MacCalman, Your letter of February 23rd has been received. In reply you will find herewith enclosed a copy of the letter that was sent to the Surgeon General on January 16,1922, through the Medical Officer in Temporary Charge at this station. A carbon copy of this letter was sent January 17th also, to Dr. Hugh S. Cumming", marked Personal and registered. This letter contains all the information that I have. As yet your letter of February 23rd is the only notice that has been taken of this matter, unless one can call my transfer to Tucson as Assistant Chief Nurse an answer to Dr. Allen's tele- gram to the Surgeon General, my telegram and letter to Miss Minni- gerode of January 5th, and this letter of mine to the Surgeon General of January 16th. This transfer came on January 10th while we were waiting a rap reply to our telegram our and five days after the re- ceipt of the first telegram from Dr. Laminder, I objected to leaving Arrowhead until a reply had been received from Washington to the telegrams we had sent on January 5th. Major Townsend,Med- ical Officer in Chargex Temporary Charge and Dr. Fenton, Executive Officer tried to have me leave the same day the transfer came, whereupon I wired a personal telegram to the Bureau atating that I would leave January 14th if satisfactory to them and received a r reply stating this would be satisfactory. Until I know what is required this is all I have to say of- ficially, except that it would seem the right thing and proper to allow me to be present during the investigation, or before the final conclusion is reached, as I am the person most concerned. With Mr Southerd in New York, Mrs. Albertus in Fort Bayard and myself in Tucson, with other changes even more vital, it seems improbable that an investigation could uncover very much. I thank you for your interest. Sincerely yours, Alma E. Wrigley,
