My Dear Dr. Carter;

    Please accept my sincere thanks for the sentiments
expressed in your kind letter of Feb. 21st. I value highly your
opinion of our work--since I know of no one more competent to
pass judgment on all that pertains to the subject of yellow fever.
You must not forget that your own work in Mississippi did more
to impress me with the importance of an intermediate host than
everything else put to-gether.

With best wishes,
Sincerely, yours,

(Signed) Walter Reed
