SIEEROSIS NEW YORK OFFICE October 12, 1945 Dr* L. E. Hamlin Medical Department Chicago Replying to your letter of October 9th, the attached copy of my letter to Dr. Gardner is self-explanatory. Regarding Mr. Hanks, I think it would be well if you wrote him a sice letter explaining the situation. In looking back through my file, I came across a letter written to John by Mr. HanVa on April 30th in which he states *0n the theory that if this is going to be a joint program, let's get the suggestions of our advisors at the start and if there are any of value, to have them incorporated into the program and the routine of the plan itself9. This is just what we don't want as we discussed in Chicago. However, you, of course, won't want to mention this in your letter. The type of' letter from you of October 8th to Mr, Cook should cover the situation. Hill you kindly send a copy of this letter to Mr. Hanks to Mr. J. B Terbell. ED: sc Enclosure Treasurer
