Patient correspondent address books, [ca. 1885 -1910]

This series consists of addresses of patient contacts and correspondents arranged alphabetically by patient name. Letters (s-sister, d-daughter, h-husband, c-cousin, etc.) in parentheses denote the correspondent's relationship to the patient. Occasionally notations are included indicating whether the correspondent is responsible for patient clothing. Permissions or refusals for autopsies, additional correspondents to be notified in case of patient deaths, and returned mail are also noted. The names of dead or discharged patients are crossed out. While a note at the beginning of Volume 1 indicates that entries are indexed to case number 6630, dates or additional case number information in the remaining volumes cannot be ascertained. These volumes have been rendered fragile from extensive water damage.
