Dear Charlie:
Congratulations on receiving the Spingarn Medal.
I am wondering whether you saw the advertisement of the bottle which Cutter uses. I feel very definitely that Howard University should take up with the Cutter Laboratory through your lawyer the question of using a bottle which has been patented. They might be willing to pay you royalties so that the money may be put to the Surgical Research Fund.
It is good to hear of your progress.
With best wishes,
Sincerely,
John Scudder, M.D.
