Letter to the editors

At the end of July and the beginning of August of this year, there appeared in the "Russian Vedomosti" and in the "Doctor" the announcement of the Ufa Provincial Zemsky Administration, calling for doctors who want to take the place of the head and two residents of the Ufa Zemsky Hospital for the mentally ill. Regarding these announcements, we received letters and inquiries from comrades who were perplexed as to why the entire medical staff of the psychiatric hospital immediately left the service. We think that the comrades will be surprised to learn that two of the doctors — the manager S.P. Sukhov until October 11 and the resident E.K. We were only informed at that time (we informed us of the journal decree of the Board from July 2) that the Board expects from us a petition for resignation in the course of two months and start applying for our deputies. Did the third comrade, resident O.V. Aptekman, petition for resignation, we do not know, because he stood apart and joined together with the Administration to fight against us.
