Dear H.T. Hunter,
Cullowhee N.C.
Dear Dr. Hunter:
I have just returned from Raleigh, having been there on business for my Company.

I was informed that you have been ill and unable to be at your office, but trust that you are again well ere this.
With kind personal regards, I am sincerely yours,

Mr. Dan Tompkins
Raleigh, N. C.
My dear Sir:
I wish to thank you for myself and express to you
the appreciation of all the small hospitals in North Carolina
and many of our nurses for what you have done for them in
this Legislature. I refer to Bill Ho. 906. This amendment
will do more toward helping the sick and afflicted in ITorth
Carolina then any other act which has or will be passed in
this Legislature. This is my jjersonal opinion. No one who
has not stopped to think has understood how far reaching and
how important this measure is. Svery individual in North
Carolina should be thanEfiul to you for your efforts in the
matter.
Hospitalization for the acute and emergency ills
must be given more attention in our State, and it is in these
cases that quick action and equipment save many lives, and the
hospitals are the only places where such action may be obtained.
Cur people of the State are just now beginning to
think seriously of the hospital proposition and what it be ana to
them. Thousands of our people in this Stat e owe their lives
to facilities obtained in hospitals.
I wish to assure you that this kind consideration and
your willingness to listen and reason upon this subject will
not be soon forgotten. It was only through your willingness to
reason that the people of North Carolina have not been left to
suffer. It is bad enough to be sick, but to be sick without
hope is worse. I wish that every citizen of North Carolina
could be made to realize just what you have done for them, and
again thanking you., I am
Very respectfully yours,
Harold Glascock, M. D
