To The President
I earnestly beg of you to abstain from alluriatic Acid food during your convalesence. This comprises all meats, eggs, sea food, and Asparigras, beans etcetera. An egg is an unevolved chicken, and is as harmful as the chicken itself. I sincerely pray now that you will heed my warning in this one particular knowing the importance it is to you and your country.
I have the honor, Mister President, to be, with profound respect,
George. C. Tanner.
