Letter from Virginia Apgar to Allen O. Whipple

In 1937, after nearly a year's residency training in anesthesiology, Apgar was invited back to Columbia-Presbyterian (where she had done her surgery internship) to set up and head a new division of anesthesia there. In this letter, she outlined her plan for the division to Whipple, director of the department of surgery.; NOTE: Handwritten text at top of first page illegible in original.
