Copy of a typewritten letter from Wilder Penfield to Sir Herbert Holt regarding the decision to "refuse direct access to the [Royal Victoria] Hospital's main corridor from the [Montreal] Neurological Institute". Penfield expresses his displeasure at the unfairness of such a decision so late in the process and his disappointment at the Hospitals' apathy toward the project. He asserts the Neurological Institutes' need for a well-run administration that is only found at large Hospitals. Penfield also expresses his hope that a contract will be completed promptly in order for the Institute to receive patients in September.
