5 "Frank," he said, "I have a whole mess of letters about you; from the Chancellor of the State University; from the Secretary of the State Historical Society, who is also on the teaching staff of the university in history and law; from the Dean of the College of Medicine in Omaha; and others. All these letters were forwarded here to ex-Congressman Mathers, who ran over to my place last night and we looked them over. "These friends of yours are set in the belief that the place where you belong is in the University Hospital in Omaha; and a great group of papers have come, the filling in and signing of which would regularize and legalize such transfer. "Now, my own feeling is this: We all know the slow movement of these deadly, formal papers. In my opinion it would be a full three weeks -say about February 1 -before the full legal procedure incident to your placement in the University Hospital at Omaha could be completed. "And by that time, the way your case is moving, I expect to have you up and about, a 'going concern' -probably of necessity at an east pace for a time, but none the less, wholesomely mended. "Now, how about it? What shall I say to Lincoln and Omaha?" It did not take me long to adopt the doctor's view. Had it been possible for the University Hospital to take me over on, say December 16 instead of February 1, doubtless it would have been to my advantage; whereas this proposed belated transfer seems rather meaningless.
