RE: Dr Louis D Ha man Jr. , Jacksonville, North Carolina(See previous Minutes) — On a routine follow-up the following is le tterreceived from Dr. Cornelius Lansing, Instructor in Psychiatry, Univer-sity of North Carolina School of Medicine, April 15th, 1960:

"In reply to your recent letter of inquiry concerning Dr. Hay-man, I am glad to report that he is doing very well, to thebest of my knowledge.

"During 1959 I saw him about once a month, and on October 21,1959, it was decided by mutual agreement to terminate regularformal therapy, leaving it th at he should feel free to writefor an appointment at intervals of several months, if heshould wish to discuss something with me. Subsequent appoi:, nt-ments have been made strictly at his request, one in Feb-ruary, and one for the latter part of this current month.

"Thus, although I maintain marginal contact with him, he hasnot been "under my care" since October. 1959. I feel thatthe gains he has made in alteration of attitudes and per-sonality, make his prognosis good. It is possible that underserious stress he might break down in some way, (but then anyperson will break down if sufficient stress is applied. )

"In my opinion, the strength he has gained makes such an even-tuality no more likely than it would be in a person randomlyselected from an average group of similar station in life.Sl "Cornelius Lansing. M. D.

Instructor in Psychiatry"
