Dear Parsons:
You will regret to learn of the very serious condition of
our old friend R. B. Moore. He was taken to Rocheste a week
ago today for general examination presumably with reference to
hyperacidity. His condition became rapidly worse after arrival
there, and they have diagnosed his ailment as a tumor of the
brain with every indication that it is of the rapidly progress-
ing, infiltrative type for which there is no alleviation. We
drove down yesterday to see him and Mrs. Moore. We found him
in a state of complete coma. He had been unconscious since
Friday and the doctors lent very little hope of any improvement.
They advise operation on the very slight chance that their diag-
nosis may be incorrect. Mrs. Moore is considering radiation if
she can get any encouragement from Dr. Burnham or anyone at the
Memorial Hospital in New York. I doubt very much if it is feasé
ible, and have aqually little faith in the operation after talk
ing with his physician at Rochester.
He looks quite well, but all the symptoms are against his
recovery, and I think we must be prepared for the worst in a very
short time.
With best regards
Sincerely yours,
S.C.L.
S.C.Lind,
Director.
