Carey appreciated Hench's tip regarding the Camp Lazear dedication and has written a story for the Associated Press, which he encloses. He asks that Hench inform him about any new developments in cortisone and ACTH.

Carey sends Hench copies of two Associated Press stories on Walter Reed and yellow fever that he has written. He discusses the interviews and research he has done for the stories, requests a photograph of Building No. 1, and expresses hope that the second article, which discusses preservation of the building, will help to generate support for that effort.

Edmundson informs Hench that he enjoyed the Cornwell painting unveiling and that he hopes Kissinger will recover.

Law informs Hench that he has offered to loan the Cornwell painting for the Fourth International Congress on Tropical Medicine.

Law informs Hench that Cornwell's latest painting will be unveiled soon and that he will receive an invitation to attend the ceremony.

Law informs Hench about his meeting with Ramos and describes his ideas for exploiting the yellow fever painting in Cuba. Law requests that Hench contact Ramos to find out about the progress on this project.

Russell writes that he will send letters to Laura Carter for her father's consideration, but emphasizes that she should not allow him to overwork.

Rath has accepted the invitation of Rojas and Cabrera to visit in order to advise them on preservation of their Finca San Jose. He believes that the recent Cuban revolution makes it unlikely that the government would be hospitable to initiating legislation to form a Cuban National Trust.

Rath sends Hench a copy of his report to the National Trust on his visit to the Rojas San Jose farm, and will write-up the full story for Hench as soon as he has time.

Rath informs Hench that the National Trust for Historic Preservation does not deem it possible to take ownership of the Quinta San Jose, as Rojas would prefer, but will cooperate with preservation efforts.
