Dear General:
I would like to add my congratulations to _
those of many others of your friends, on your election as
President of the Amsrxsan Surgical Association. This is an
honor which you not only deserve, but also I know you will
fill the office in the way that it should be done. Since
this was my first meeting as a member of the American Surgical,
I took particular pleasure in having the opportunity to add»
my "Yea" when the motion was put to the house.
I can•t help but take this opportunity to
express the feelings, not only of myself, but of quite a number ,
of other members at the meeting after the election of new
members had taken place. It was the feeling of some, that
some of the men who served with distinction during the war, A
and therefore naturally had been away for su e time, perhaps
did not get as much consideration as some younger men wher I
thrc gh no fault of theirs, hed not been away, and therefore
had been able to accomplish more constructive work.
I I hope you will understand the feeling that »
I am expressing, and I wouldn*t do it if I did not feel that
I know you as I do. I hope you will simply bear it in mind
‘ _ for what it is worth in the future.
Again congratulations, and with kindest regards,
_ Sincerely yours,
  MO DO g
