Dear Dr. Kehoe* Se ve r al days ago I wrote t o Jack Bloom field in qu ir in g whether he had w r it t e n t o Dr. E. C. Holmblad givin g him any d e fin it e in for m ation about th e d at es and program t h at th e AIHA would lik e t o have fo r th e 1945 Annual Meetin g, and I have ju st had a r e p ly from h is se c r e t ar y st a t in g t h a t he i s on v acat io n fo r th e n ext two w eeks. From th e in fo r n at i an I h&ve a t hand, I imagine he h as turn ed over t h is assign m en t t o you and I am wondering whether you have sen t him any sp e c if io in for m at ion . I am at t ach in g copy o f a l e t t e r which was ad d r essed t o both Mr. Bloom field and n y se lf, dated August 10, 1944. I have n ot r e p lie d t o t h i s l e t t e r , and ap par en t ly Mr. Bloom field h as n ot answered i t . Sin ce you ar e Chairman o f th e Pro gram Committee, you w il l no doubt want t o give Dr. Holmblad as much in form ation as p o ssib le a t the presen t tim e. You have a lso r eceived a copy o f Dr. Holmblad's l e t t e r o f August 29^ 1944, ad d r essed t o Bloom field , Kehoe, Bar n es, L i t t l e f i e l d , and Cook. I fe e l t h a t our A sso ciat io n sh ould d e fin it e ly be r epr esen t ed a t th e m eetin g on September 12. A p lace fo r t h is m eetin g h as n ot been d esign at ed , but t h is in for m ation could no doubt be obtain ed from Dr. Holmblad* I f you cou ld be presen t a t t h is m eetin g, i t would be very h e lp fu l.
