Letters Received to Dr. Frederick B. Flinn, November 17, 1927

COPY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS & SURGEONS 437 W. 59th St. N.Y. Institute of Public Health November 17,1927. Dr. Frederick B. Flinn. Dear Dr. Flinn: Wait until you have a quiet time away from the laboratory and then read the enclosed and promise ne not to take either of the letters amiss. The confusion in the mind of Dr. Hamilton would be shared by any one looking at the record from the outside. The appearance to a hard boiled world is confusing, as it was to you to have that fatal case turn up just after the negative report was first published. Your apparently dual role in the industry and in the cases of the workers is also unusual. Dr. Hamilton is to sincere and too much of a friend for me to resent even what appears to be curiosity and intrusion in your private and professional matter. I wish we could have a chat about it before I go but since that is impossible you will in any event do what seems indicated in answering or seeing Dr. Hamilton. Sincerel y yours, (signed) Haven Emerson, M.D.
