Codman Hospital.

number 15 Pinckney St. , Boston, Mass.

January 2nd. 1918


Dear Dr. Woodbury:-
" ……...I received a very nice letter from
Mr. Moriarty, giving me the Resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors. I have never received so much undeserved credit as I
have for my Halifax trip, for all the real work was done by
you people in the transformation of the Y. M. C. A. Building
into a hospital. People persist in giving me credit of having
done something which I am quite conscious is merely the expression
of their ignorance of the real facts. The experience was made
so pleasant by the spirit in which you all worked that we all
look back on the trip with pleasure...……."



Sincerely,

E. A. Codman M.D.


2 January 1918. Letter, Boston, Mass. E.A. Cadman to Dr. W. W. Woodbury, regarding work done at the Y.M.C.A. Hospital, credit for effort.
