Dear Rankin: `
It is a great pleasure to all of us to know that you were
elected president of the American Medical Association. I'm afraid
you are going to find it quite a burden, however, but some one like
you will be badly needed this coming year, as the hospital situation
as to house officers is in a veqy confused state. The men who should
be going into the service are those who have just completed their
hospital training or are in the first year or two of practice, but
with us almost the entire pressure is on the senior house officers.
_ It is going to be extremely difficult, under the law, to man the
whole army with men under thirty-five, who have no dependents.
I had a very nice letter from Coley Johnston recently.
Again I wish to say how much I have enjoyed your election to the
presidency of the American Medical Association. All of your friends
here are very pleased. R
‘ Sincerely yours,
Apt1m~ .
