Excerpt of letter from H. Schwatt to C.D. Spivak, 1914 July 7
Excerpt of H. Schwatt’s letter written to C.D. Spivak. Schwatt tells Spivak that he wrote to him about a number of patients who are regarded as old-timers and repeaters at the sanatorium. Schwatt told Spivak that Rosche Schwartz was one of the names, but Spivak has not yet set a definite time to discharge her; therefore, Schwatt is asking Spivak to make arrangements to do so. Schwatt tells Spivak that the only patient who does not need arrangements is Samuel Morris because he passed away.
