Scope and Contents

The letter is urging Congressman George B. Schwab to vote for an appropriation of eight million dollars to support the Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness in 1953, as many people are suffering from crippling neurological and sensory diseases, including Multiple Sclerosis. The writer, Ruth Eleanor Nelson, a public school teacher from Billings, Montana, has been unable to teach for the past two years due to Multiple Sclerosis, and the Institute has brought hope to her and others afflicted with similar conditions.
