August 19th 1918. Prof. [Henry Milton] Whelpley 415 Clark Ave., St. Louis, Missouri. Dear Sir: - Enclosed please find a copy of the courses given at our school. We have eight instructors and about sixteen assistant instructors. I am sorry that I didn’t have a chance to attend the meetings before Friday, so that I could tell the American Pharmaceutical Association the work that we are carrying on especially in pharmacy. We wish that the Association would push their work for the pharmacists in the Navy as they did the pharmacists in the Army. With kind regards to Mrs. Whelpley and yourself, I remain, Yours very truly, A.H. Benhard Assistant Surgeon, (T) USN
