[theory] than they did Lazear at first. I am just
as confidant that Reed knew about Finlay's
theory long before Lazear did. I rather
think you will agree with my arguments
if you see them. Hench has had the idea
since he first started this study that
Lazear was the real leader in the mosquito
theory. Of course he was not, but he was
a bright hard worker, and soon became
a leader as Reed had given him the
work that was bound to bring results. I have just heard from Hench, but he
is so busy with his other work, lectures
and traveling that he has barely had time
to scan the things I sent him. So his
real reaction to my remarks will come
later. I was so glad to hear about "Dusty"
and the way he was picking up when you
wrote. We had had a letter earlier from
Mrs. Siler and it was retty gloomy. I
did not think that "Dusty" was a good
surgical risk and I thought his chances
very poor, but thank God he fooled me. We are still hopeful of seeing you
in May. The Pullman's are still congested
and R.R. conditions not too good. "My tongue
is hanging out" for one good drink of
that "bottled-in-bond" you have promised me. All is well with the Trubys and we all
join in cordial regards to you & Mrs. Kean Affectionately yours
Albert E. Truby
