Dear Beth: 

I was glad to know from Charles of the settlement 
arrived at with Gary Methodist Hospital. It should 
go a long way in revitalizing the institution and 
improving the services available to the people of 
Gary. 1 hope it will aet to stop hospitals from 
abandoning inner cities. As there are many features 
of the settlement that I couldn't expect to learn 
fully by phone, I would appreciate receiving a copy 
of the agreement. 

Charles suggested that we send a bill for our services. 
I have forwarded the ingredients to PHSS which does 
such things and you will be hearing from them 
shortly. 

It was a great pleasure for me to work on an issue 

that is so much in the public interest. I enjoyed 
the associations throughout and wish you and the Fund 
well in its important work. 

Sincerely, [||7dabb703-5dc2-4a08-9be7-d6d98a204b63||]
