UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY MINNEAPOLIS November 24, 1930 OFFICE OF THE DEAN Dr. Charles L. Parsons Mills Building Washington, D. 0. Dear Parsons: A 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 presunably with reference to hyperacidity. His condition bedame rapidly worse after arrival there, and they have diagnosed hãs ailment as a tumor of the brain with every indication that it is of the rapidly progress- ing, infiltrative type for which there As no alleviation. We drove down yesterday to see him and Mys. Moore. We found him in a state of complete coma. He had been unconscious since Friday and the doctors very little hope of any improvement. They advise operation on the very slight chance that their diag- nosis may be incorrect. Mrs. Modre is considering radiation if she can get any encouragement from DV. 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 Ms phy ician et Rochlester. He Idoks 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.
