Wood describes the notebook she examined at the New York Academy of Medicine, which is alleged to be Reed's.

Kean makes a few suggestions on how to improve Truby's forward. He notes that he was on an inspection tour during Lazear's illness. He returned and thinks he saw Lazear the day before he died. He does not know when Reed heard of Lazear's death.

Truby comments on the notebook found at the New York Academy, stating that it could be Lazear's record from the laboratory. He knows the Board went to see Finlay in early July, and that they started to raise mosquitoes at once, because he saw them in glass jars. As such, he disputes Agramonte's date for the beginning of the mosquito work. Truby believes it was Lazear, not Agramonte, who induced Reed to meet with Finlay.

Taylor enjoyed Hench's “Conquest of Yellow Fever” and sees nothing in it to correct. He claims that Finlay wrote about the Aedes aegypti mosquito as a means of yellow fever transmission in 1881 and gave the method and technique for experimentation. He details his own involvement as a yellow fever volunteer.

Rodriguez-Perez thanks Hench for his letter and reprint of "The Conquerors of Yellow Fever." He will order additional copies of "Memoria del Hospital No. 1" for Hench, a copy of which will be sent to the US Army Medical Library. See English translation.

Pinto writes to Hench that he visited Truby, and thinks his work is good, but that he has slipped over time. He hopes that Truby completes his article soon.

Hench has received microfilm of the notebook found at the New York Academy of Medicine and has recognized Lazear's and Reed's handwriting. The contents include case reports of sick soldiers, electrozone experiment notes, observations of non-experimental and experimental yellow fever cases, and notes about mosquitoes. The notebook shows that Lazear was working with mosquitoes even before the Yellow Fever Board was created.

Kean makes comments on the contents of the notebook found at the New York Academy of Medicine. He had recommended Carroll for volunteer commission of major, but it didn't happen.
