One copy of a 2 page handwritten letter to a member of the Board of Managers for Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas. The letter refers to the events of the weekend of the assassination as "... this past Fri, Sat + Sunday...," dating it for the week following Friday, November 22, 1963. The letter is written by the District 2 Dallas County Commissioner, Mel G. Price. The letter reads: "Mr. [?], Member of the board of Mgrs- Parkland, Hosp- I feel that the Commissioners Court of Dallas County has little to do with the actual administration policy and technical operation of Parkland Hospital but (2x underlined) in a time of crisis, as you faced this past Fr, Sat + Sunday, the Administration and all employees did display real ability. This outstanding ability to meet a real crisis in the death of our President, critical wounding of our Gov. and death of the man accused of the shootings simply displays what an efficient, effective way this Hospital Board has worked in the past. This board is certainly to be commended for all of the work they do; the many timeless hours of deliberation which in the end proved that you had done your job exceptionally well. Dallas County, The Commissioners Court, and each individual has a right to be proud of the way you and Parkland delivered. I, as a private citizen and a Commissioner of Dallas County am certainly proud and do commend you for the way your team met the time of real trial. Cooperation was the by-word and the leadership this Board provides and the Administration, under C.J. Price, delivers, certainly is to be appreciated - I personally thank you for your work!- [signature] Mel Price"
