My deer Fredza a
One of your former students, Lt. Riley of Lexington,
A ` reported for duty here at Schick the other day and
brought with him the news that you were back in ci-
! vilian life. The amenities of the service are such ` ·
· that we could not hand orchids to our superiors in I
the service but now it is appropriate for me to let
y . you know how much I appreciate the many courtesies
l extended to me and what is much more important to
  state that the country end the medical profession
l _ realize what a grand job you did.
y We are using your article which appeared in the Army
i ‘ · Medical Bulletin as a text as a basis of training the \
surgical staff and do they eat it up. M _ R

Sincerely yours, S
