My dear walter:
i thought - wouaC;c senc y;c copy of letter received fromI om
James. ' here are quite a number of problems to be solved before we
are justified in spending the amount necessary for a new hospital,
mo, without intimating or suggesting that our embarking on the am-
penditure is dependent upon any contribution that Ethel and you may
have in mind making in the way of a donation to the hospital fund,
I do feel justified in asking if you have reached any conclusion with
respect to the matter and if so ,mat this conclusion is.
I am not at all sure how our hourly or even monthly employees
will feel about increasing their dues to 44.00 a month minimum, 15.00
a month maximum, even though the present hospital is wholly inadequate
and $.0 or $5.00 a month for the services to be offered would prob-
ably be cheaper than such organisations as the Blue Cross charge for
materially less service than the hospital is now rendering. Contri-
butions by the Sugar Compary and Industries have been necessary in
past years to overcome deficits in annual operations. Contimance
or an outright contribution to a new building will be necessary.
I have just been advised that Mrs. James' mother died in
Alabama; that she and Tom are going over there and will not be back
until about the time you get this letter.
With kindest regards,
Sincerely,
11
