Medical Director’s Office, March 31 ‘64
Sir
I wrote you about the 1st of the month, that I would be prepared to turn over to the city authorities the City Alms House building.
Not having heard any thing from them in any way, may I request you to inform me who are the proper committee to take charge of it and that you notify them.
