LETTER

Charles J. Hempel M.D., corresponding secretary to the Board of Trustees of Hom. Med. College of Pennsylvania, to Henry Thomas M.D. in which Dr. Hempell states he is amazed at the boldness of the Registrar in asserting that he has not furnished satisfactory evidence of his claims to a diploma of M.D. All questions on the schedule forwarded to the American government by the British government had been answered in strict accodance with the manner prescribed by the registrar. These documentswere returned to the state department for transmission to England. A certificate signed by Judge Parsons, the executive president and countersigned by the Recording Secretary of the executive board was likewise transmitted stating in the most explicit language that Dr. Thomas had received his diploma having passed every examination required in all branches required by their laws. Dr. Hempel believes the idea appeared to be to exclude Dr. Thomas from the benefit and privileges of the Medical Act. He concludes by saying that if Dr. Thomas requires any further testimony to prove his right to registration he need only inform him and such will be sent by return of mail.
