My friend Gibson is a little out in his historical
information. CHANGING over his report on leprosy
1 see he establishes the hospital of st. John at
Jerusalem in the Seventh Century of the Christian
Era That was the time when the moslem hordes
had burst into Palestine. ] think if he looks an
the matter he will find that the merchants he re-
fers TO established the hospital in 104S while the
military order was founded in 1893 Just after the

your contemporary does not even show up as good

Your friend paul so well known in San Fran
