Dear General:
During the last thirty years I have made a collection of anatomical and pathological material consisting mostly of wax models in colors illustrating deformities of the nose, mouth, throat and chest. These have been made from casts taken from the subjects before and after operation.
The above collection I am considering presenting to the Army Medical Museum in case the museum would be pleased to receive the same.
Some months ago I was contemplating a visit to the museum when I hoped to have the pleasure of meeting you. Owing to illness my condition will not allow of it I will enclose a note of introduction from my friend Dr. J.S. Billings.
I will appreciate it if you will kindly advise me regarding the reception of the collection and the facilities you have for exhibiting the same. I will be pleased to give you detail information of the collection should you desire it.
Awaiting your reply, I am
Very respectfully yours
D.H. Goodwillie M.D.
per R
Dictated by Dr. Goodwillie
[A five-page list of models was in the file with the letter.]
