Dear Sir:

Your letter of the 29th inst. to Major Walter Reed, was received at this Museum to-day, and I regret to inform you that Dr. Reed died of appendicitis on November 23, 1902. I enclose a copy of the memorial pamphlet issued by the Medical Association of the District of Columbia.

The investigations of the American Yellow Fever Commission, seven articles in all, were published in different Journals, and I am only able to send you reprints of four of these. The other three articles appear as follows:

"Experimental Yellow Fever" in American Medicine, Phila., July 6, 1901.

"The Etiology of Yellow Fever. A supplemental Note" in American Medicine. February 22, 1902.

"Recent Researches concerning the Etiology, Propagation and Prevention of Yellow Fever by the U.S. Army Commission" in Journal of Hygiene, Vol. II No. 2, 1st April, 1902.

Very respectfully,
James Carroll
1st Lieut. Asst. Surgeon, U.S. Army,
