Sir:
In reply to your communication of the 5th Inst. I regret to say that no specimen was preserved in the case of Pvt. George W. Trump. Co. K 19 Infantry who died June 15th 1885 of embolism of Right Middle Cerebral Artery.
The specimen removed in this case became, under examination, much broken down and torn (through softening of the brain structure), and was through to be of too little value to forward to the Army Medical Museum.
Very Respectfully,
Your Obt. Servt.
F.L. Town
Major and Surgeon US Army
