Important Letter explaining my telegram. Please read it carefully.
Some time ago I read in the paper of the results of the SPALINGER treatment — a vaccine treatment - for advanced cases of tuberculosis. An English doctor — Doctor Leonard Williams had applied it himself with excellent results. I think Doctor Leonard Williams is a Harley Street man. I am under the impression, also, that he is connected with The French Hospital. It further stated that this treatment was being given in Switzerland and France, and it implied that Spalinger was in Geneva. Doctor Bouchage knows Williams personally. I am sending Jack to him tomorrow to ask if he will give you a letter of introduction, mentioning my case. I hope he will. If he does I want you to go and ask him where there is an institution or sanatorium in Switzerland where this treatment is followed & if I am likely to be accepted. Just go quietly and do this for me will you? I am willing to go into any sanatorium, of course.
Katherine.
