 | COPY May 27, 1905. Maj. Louis A. LaGarde, Superintendent of Ancon Hospital, Ancon, C.Z. Dear LaGarde:- After thinking over the matter for the past five months, I have come to the conclusion that it is better for us both, you and me, and for the Sanitary Department that your connection with it be severed. At the same time I wish to act in the premises entirely without prejudice to yourself, and, therefore, state to you in this letter my opinion on the subject candidly, and for the reason that I thought you might prefer to take the initiative and ask for your relief rather than to have me do so. Very truly yours, W.C. Gorgas Chief Sanitary Officer . Copy for Surgeon-General, Washington, D.C. |
