In his analysis, Kershman outlines various expense variables, including the varying costs of public and private patients, the occupancy rate, patients’ length of stay, and other such factors. He closes the letter by making suggestions for changes which could come with the opening of a new wing of the MNI that had not yet been discussed. These include improving the institute’s food services by building a kitchen in the extension. This letter is dated July 6, 1944.
