My dear Doctor
After reading your bulletin on the condition of the health of the President, although I do not know the diagnosis; I take the liberty to offer my services if need should arise. The short paper appended will explain to you in which time because of my long experience I could offer my knowledge. So far I localized 73 gross lesions of as described without the aid of any clinical evidence, with only 3 laboratories. Major CJ Herrick (University of Chicago) formerly with the Army Museum is thoroughly conversant with my work.
For the patient the tests are not annoying, at all, because with the exception of the taking of the blood (4-6 ounces), the whole work is conducted in the laboratory; and patients advanced in age, on account of high pressure profit from the bleeding anyway.
Should necessity arise and should you, Dr. Grayson, decide on utilizing my services I am ready to respond to your order at anytime of day or night, and I think that then it would be most advantageous, for the sake of time to perform the tests here in my laboratory. I could start the preliminaries immediately after receipt of your telegram, to be ready for the blood, which could be either brought by a messenger or by special delivery. Please do not add any preservative or anti coagulant and choose a bottle which be filled to the cork to prevent bad shaking.
Ready for services of any kind
I remain
Your obedient servant
