Dear Doctor,

I forward by todays mail [a] piece of a small warty tumor from tongue of Tucker[?] Clifford. It is situated in center of dorsum of anterior surface of tongue + not not raised above [the] surface. It looks to me suspicious.

Will you be kind enought to examine + give me your opinion.

Very truly yours,
W.C. Gorgas.
