Doctor David Starr Jordan.

Dear Sir:--

After thinking the thing
over again I have come to the conclusion
that I had better leave the communication
relative to my opinion as to the causes of Mrs.
Stanford's death, for you to do with as you see fit,
should you at any time find it of any service
whatever in anything more than a private way,
though in all probability there is no further use
you would have for it.

All through the communication I have purposely
left out any thing whatever in the way of criticism of
any doctor connected with the case, with the exception
of course of what can be read between the lines. I have
said nothing as to the reasons why Dr. Humphries did
not put Mrs. Stanford to bed, why Dr. Humphries if he
considered it a case of strychnine poisoning should
have allowed Miss Berner & Miss Hunt to keep rubbing
her and using all sorts of counter irritation up to the
very end &c.

I wish to thank you for your hospitality
last evening. I have enjoyed very much having the
privilege of meeting one of whom I have heard & read so much
& in whom all College men are especially interested.

Yours sincerely, Ernest C. Waterhouse.
