Dear Doctor:
The next issue of the News Letter of the Western Missouri District Branch will be published January 14, 1967. We would like to have news from you, but we must have it by January 10th.
I am sorry to give you such short notice, but I have battled with a series of virus attacks up to Christmas season and am just now getting started on the News Letter.
I hope you can get something in by the deadline.
Thanks
(There are handwritten notes at the bottom of the page that include: 'Outpatient clinic open house; Patient population continues to drop'

B. St. Joseph State Hospital release January 5, 1967
Patient population at St. Joseph State Hospital continues to plummet downward
The inpatient population at the end of December, 1965 wads 20143. At the end of
December, 1966 the population was 1706
Dr. Liam O'Brien, Acting Superintendent, attributed this decline to a large degree
to the ten additional psychiatrists who have been added to the staff in recent months.

We invite you to join us in the formal opening of our new Outpatient Clinic.

The Clinic has been in operation for several weeks and we hope you will

Oh yes, we'll have plenty of cookies and coffee on hand, too.
We hope you will share this letter with interested friends and colleagues.
By the way, the ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 10 a.m.
Cordially,
Liam O'Brien, M. D.Lexicon
