Typewritten letter from Wilder Penfield to Sir Herbert Holt. Penfield inquires as to whether Holt would be agreeable to having one of the public wards in the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) named after him. He writes that it is customary at the National Hospital in London to honor benefactors in this way. Penfield closes the letter saying he is glad Holt will be in attendance at the MNI opening, and hopes to have the ward labeled by then.
