Curatorial Records: Numbered Correspondence 01779
November 4, 1896
To the
Surgeon General, U. S. Army,
Washington, D.C.
General:
The Museum has a specimen of excised testicle from a military convict, John J. Moore, who was admitted to the hospital at Alcatraz Island, California, November 25, 1892, with subacute orchitis; testicle excised December 7; Discharged from Hospital December 22, 1892.
It would be interesting in connection with the specimen to learn the history of the patient subsequent to his discharge from the Hospital on December 22, 1892, and I would therefore respectfully request that an inquiry be made at the Adjutant General’s Office for such late data as may be on record in the case of Moore.
Very respectfully,
D.L. Huntington
Deputy Surgeon General, U.S. Army
In charge of Museum and Library Division
