Dr. George Wheatley, Assistant Medical Director, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Hew York City. Dear George:- RE: THETFORD MINES HEALTH SERVICE I had been placed under the impres sion when we were at Thetford and Quebec (Dr.Parrot) that the figures you were to secure as to t.b. deaths, at Thetford Mines Hospital would be analyzed as to the. place of origin and recent residence (before admission to hospital of such t.b. patients). I had told the producers that the survey and opinion you had forwarded me last winter did bear in mind t.b. deaths at Thetford Mines but of Thetford Mines residents proper. In short that you did not feel with t.b. patients who might have . died at Thetford Mines but who came as a matter of fact from distant points. Was I right? The point is that my clients feel that the tom should not be charged with deaths taking place in the sanatorium of patients who were not residents of the town before their admission to the hospital. respect? Could you straighten me out in this Best personal regards. IS:RS aldred building
