stating that DR.. Michael had notified DR.
Lanham OF smallpox in Reno district
Since have talked with DR.. Michael. I
find he notified VIM A. Watson and
Watson In turn told Squire Rutherford
and Rutherford told DR. Lanham.
The DR.. did say perhaps IL was u or IA
days after he notified Watson before DR.
Lanham and Shaw came over to Sigiey's;
but wasonly few days after DR.. Lanham
received word Of supposed cases of small.
pox until he sud Shaw came.
He says Commissioned Jennings talked
to him over the phone the evening OF the
same day concerning the disease BY Or.
Michael saying he reported the disease
and perhaps il was - OF "a DAYS after. be
fore DR. Lanham and Shaw came. | natu.
rally would suppose that he had made his
report direct TO DIR. Lanham. The error
was not intentional and there was no In.
tention to reflect on Or. Lanham by either
DIR. Michaels or myself DIR. Michaels
says DIR. Lanham was very careful to in.
siruct him how TO guard himself and the
public when necessary to enter the houses
and he is sorry there was misundcrstand-
ing. but this explains the situation.
Also In justice to DR.. Michaels who has
reported to Dr. Lanham and Dr. Showalter
the number of cases %, which is correct
My article says 90 cases which - an error
as wrote from memory
The Doctor would have the same right
to believe | did him Injustice but he
knows wrote from memory and forget the
number Of patients at some Of the houses.
and now correct my mistake and say DR..
Michaels' report is correct.
In my article mentioned case re-
ported on the 7. DR.. Michaels visited the
house and found the report true. He
found the family all keeping In. and also
keeping others out. lie saw all that had been
exposed and requested them to keep close.
