Yellow fever

Andrus requests clarification of the definition of his role in the yellow fever experiments published in the Roll of Honor.

Andrus solicits advice on how to further the cause to recognize Lambert's role.

Andrus writes in support of bill S.115 granting recognition to Gustaf E. Lambert for his role in the yellow fever experiments.

Andrus provides Moran with an autobiography of his military service and a list of names and addresses of surviving yellow fever volunteers. He comments on Kissinger.

Andrus asks Moran for his address. This letter was sent via the Veterans' Bureau.

Andrus relates his experiences as a yellow fever volunteer and criticizes Kissinger's conduct. He wants to know if other volunteers have spinal difficulties and includes a plan of the Columbia Barracks laboratory.

Andrus thanks Moran for the introduction to Hench and is curious about Hench's interest. He relates family news.

Andrus summarizes his correspondence with the Mayo Clinic physicians for Moran, and he discusses the film “Yellow Jack.” He describes Lambert's physical condition and comments on the New Deal.

Andrus requests Moran's assistance in getting a bill passed to honor Ames and Lambert.

Andrus appreciates Hench's input concerning the manuscript Andrus wrote about his own experience as a volunteer in the yellow fever experiments. He discusses the manuscript, entitled “The Tale of a Guinea Pig.” and encloses a copy.

Andrus writes that some of the enlisted men thought it highly unlikely that Lazear would have allowed a stray mosquito to bite him. It was known that Carroll was inoculated by mosquito-bite, but not clear if that was the cause of Carroll's disease as he also had been in the epidemic zone. He looks forward to Hench's comments on his manuscript.

Andrus informs Hench that his manuscript, which detailed his role in the yellow fever experiments, was rejected by Hearst publications.

Andrus speculates on the location of the original yellow fever charts. He recalls that Reed was quite sick before arriving at Columbia Barracks, in November 1900.

Andrus offers his cooperation in Hench's project and encloses a list of the yellow fever volunteers.

Andrus sends Hench his medical history and wonders if his spinal condition is a result of yellow fever.

Andrus discusses the yellow fever experiments and the role played by Lambert, whom he feels deserves more credit.

Moran provides his autobiography, including his experiences as a participant in the yellow fever experiments.

Moran thanks Peabody for his efforts in campaigning for compensation for the volunteers. Moran is hesitant to grant Agramonte compensation since he is healthy and, because of being Cuban, was immune from all dangers. Also included is a brief history of Moran's involvement with the yellow fever experiments.

Moran discusses Cuban politics in general. He notes that the Finlay-Reed controversy is still ongoing, and there are strong anti-American sentiments connected with it.
