Gentlemen:
I herewith return to you, by express, an Oliver’s haemoglobinometer, purchased of you some years ago, but which has never been used. On opening it the capillary measuring pipette was found broken. Evidently on packing the case, it was found that the blood-cell E (see drawing of case on p.30 of “The Tintometer”) was too large for its assigned place, and was therefore stuck in with B, thus displacing the capillary pipette, which was packed over the candles with the needle and worsted, and broken on closing the case.
No measured blue cover glass for the blood-cell was in the case.
There were 3 riders in the case, all of 0.25. I think there should be one of 0.25 and one of 0.5.
A new rubber ball on the mixing pipette is also needed.
Please have the case and its contents carefully examined and properly and safely arranged and returned to this office as soon as possible.
Very respectfully,
Walter Reed
Major & Surgeon, U.S.A.
