Dear Dr. Emanuel:

Thank you so much for sending me you article on the medical directive and the form itself. It has very forcefully redirected my thinking and given me more insight about the directions in which I have been groping than everything else I have seen before.

I would very much appreciate knowing how to keep abreast of the development of your form and its acceptance. Is the Journal of the American Medical Association the way to do this?

Thanks again.

Sincerely yours,

BARRETT & McNAGNY
