August 25, 1921.

Dr. Lawrence Kolb,
Medical Officer in Charge,

- Ue S- Public Health Service Hospital #37,

Waukesha, Wisconsin.
My dear Doctor Kolb:

Replying to your letter of August 7, 1921, please be advised
that I have been informed that Doctor Brewster has been placed on

_, the inactive list.

I note what you say regarding Doctor Salmon's letter to you.
He had sent me a copy of it and in my reply to him I asked him if
he thought it would be desirable to write the Commander of the
American Legion about the work at #57. ‘The delay in replying to
your letter was occasioned by the fact that I have been away for
@ two weeks’ vacation.

In regard to the Sweet bill, you of course know by this time
that it has become a law and I am assured by everyone concerned
that the Public Health Service will continue to operate the hos-
pitals.

In regard to Williams and Anderson, I saw Anderson in Washington
a few weeks ago and he told me of the good work at #37. During a
recent visit to New York I saw Kirby and asked him to stop off to see
you during his visit to Waukesha. Everyone appreciates the good work
which you are doing at #37.

| Doctor Singer, Doctor Thom and myself will probably be in
Waukesha some time during the week of September 6 I will advise
you more in detail at a later time. I saw the Surgeon General this
morning and he stated that he intended going that way some time

There are a great many things concerning the hospitalization of
World Veterans which I can not at present put in writing but hope to
be able to advise you soon.

Yours very truly, ©
