The correspondence covers all aspects of the administration and operation of the sanatorium/nursing home, including staff, patient transfers, equipment and supplies, policies and procedures, volunteer services, chaplains, bequests, research grants and studies, financial costs, medical record standards, Medicare, departments and programs, and population statistics.
Topics warranting substantial correspondence include the initial organization and opening of the state sanatorium/nursing home (1961-1962), mainly between Dray and the Department of Public Welfare's (DPW) medical director, David J.
