Warden J. J.
Sullivan,
Institution,
Dear Sir:
Regarding Max Mason No. 6785
whose name appears on the Parole calendar for the month of September, I beg to
report, that since received he has been under treatment for Syphilis, responded
to treatment and his blood Wasserman was negative in October 1922 also in
October 1923. In checking over our Syphilitics recently and taking another
Wasserman we find that Max Mason gave a positive reaction this month and he is
now under treatment again and is doing well. This man has a large ventral hernia
in the upper left abdominal quadrant, the result of a knife wound in 1914. This
necessitates that he wear a special appliance and we have fitted him with two
since he was received at this institution and he works every day. Never used
alcoholics. Smokes tobacco. Never had the advantage of an education, although he
can read and write. Mental condition fair.
Yours
respectfully,
G. A. Newman
Prison Physician.
