June 22, 1925.
Dr. Cecil K. Drinker,
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. Roach, 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, Mr. Stryker took the
first opportunity of seeing Mr. Roach in person and presenting
your original report complete. He explained to Mr. Roach
that he would feel better satisfied if he would allow Mr. Stryker
to keep the original copy, that it would be available to
Mr. Roach at any time, but that if the Department insisted on
having a copy in their own file, he would provide one. Mr. Roach,
who is a deputy commissioner, said that he would take the matter
up with the Commissioner, and that if the Commissioner thought
that the Department should have B copy of the report, he would
ask for it.
A few days later, I received a letter from the
Department, signed by the Commissioner, or at least with the
Commissioner's name, dated at Mr. Roach'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 2 few
days sent a copy of the report to the Commissioner. Had
Mr. Roach signed the letter asking for the report, the reply
naturally would have been directed to him. There was no
request that two copies be sent, one to each.
Yours truly,
President.
