Sawyer encloses a letter of introduction to Arthur Packard, an associate of Rockefeller's, for Hench. He describes plans to honor Reed by the American Society of Tropical Medicine, and thinks these efforts may increase interest in Hench's Camp Lazear project. Sawyer feels it is important to recognize Finlay's contributions, although he thinks scientists should not accept an “untenable interpretation” of certain Finlay experiments.
