Dear Horace:
,.»...,-*,  Thanks for your letter of lAvyp 29 th which I find on.
my return from Quebec. "'"'I'wonder if you would not like
to remain in Chicago and attend the meeting of the Society
of Vascular Surgery at the Stevens dotal on Sunday, June 20th.
..This"will;be'held in: the ^orth Ballroom and the morning
session will begin at. 10 A.M.  1 think there are soma papers
whicKwould be of Interest to you.  If you do decide to stay
over, we could get together for a conversation.  If not,
we, .could go into the problem thoroughly when you corns here
the latter part of Juned
I may have some difficulty in rounding up cases but
I shall certainly try.  I think there will be a lot more
trouble in finding patients with aortic stenosis than those
with mitral.  Naturally I would prefer the former because
of cur mutual interest in this subject.
As I have stated before, I have just gotten back but
I will try to get some more definite information about
patients and write to you.
Hope everything is going well with you. 571th kindest
regards, I am june 41   p:..
