Cross circulation blood donors.
Your memorandum of December 14th advising that 10 girls of your institution are
interested in serving as cross circulation blood donors has been discussed with
Dr. Lillehei. He was delighted to know of the interest and will be following up
with you in regard to securing blood specimens from the girls. I have suggested
to Dr. Lillehei that all further arrangements be made directly with you and if I
can be of any assistance at any time I know that you will call upon me.
