Letters Sent to Dr. Cecil K. Drinker, June 22, 1925

June 22, 1925. Dr. Cecil K. Drinitez, c/o Harvard University School of Public Health, 240 Longwood Avenue, Boston, Mass. My dear Dr. Drinker: I have just returned after an absence of a few days and immediately answer your letter of June 18 which was previously acknowledged by my secretary. After having given you my word at our last interview that I would see to it that a copy of your report was given to Mr. Poach, you could have considered the action taken unless you heard from me that some condition beyond my control had interfered. As a matter of fact, Mz. Stryker took the first opportunity of seeing Mr. Roach in person and presenting your original report complete. He exylained to Mr. Roach that he would feel better satisfied if he would allow lbr. Stryker to keep the original copy, that it would be available to Mr. Roach at any time, bat that if the Department insisted on having a copy in their om file, he would provide one. Mr. Roach, who is a deputy commissioner, snid that hb would tale the matter up with the Commissioner, and that if the Commissioner thought that the Department should have a copy of the report, he would ask for it. A few days leter, x received a letter from the Department, signed by the Commissioner, or at least with the Commissioner's name, dated at Mr. Boach's office in Jersey City, and stating that the Department wished a copy of the report. This was immediately forwarded to Mr. Stryker who within a few days sent a copy of the report to the Commissioner. Hnd. Mr. Roach signed the letter asking for the report, the reply naturally would have been directed to him. There was no request that tiro copies be sent, one to each. Yours truly, President. ARoeder-EM
