- The document is from Mary Cook, a USPH Service nurse, who is requesting a new hospital for the Checkerboard Reservation in New Mexico.

Cook hopes that new legislation will help secure funding for a new hospital in the area. She expresses gratitude to Senator Bartlett for his work and sends well wishes for the Easter season.
