Dear Dr. Coplin,
Your method for mounting and preserving pathological specimens has impressed me greatly and I would like to have it tried here at the Museum as soon as it can be undertaken with a fair prospect of success. In order to demonstrate the beauty of the preparations and to show the value of the method before undertaking it I should like to be able to exhibit a few that had been prepared under your direction. I am going to presume so far as to ask whether you would be willing to contribute to our collection of pathological specimens a small set that would be types illustrating your own method? They will be given a conspicuous, will certainly attract attention and of course they will be credited to you. the Museum will gladly bear any expense attached to the preparation and shipment of the specimens.
If such an arrangement can be made will it be agreeable to you to have some one come on and spend a week in your laboratory acquiring familiarity with your method of procedure?
With kindest regards and trusting you will not view my request in the light of an imposition upon your good nature, believe me,
Very sincerely yours,
James Carroll
1st Lieut. Asst. Surgeon, U.S.A.
Curator, Army Medical Museum.
