Secretary Lamars Letter te Bectors Lovejoy, Bayne and King. ‘The following letter explains itself: ‘DEPARTMENT OF THE IxTERIOR, ‘Wasnrvoron, Dec, 3, 1888. Gentlemen: 1 am in receipt of your letter of the 27th ultimo in reference to the requirements of the Pension office in the matter of certificates of Sickness of the employes of that office. It should have been answered before, but for the fact that ‘the pressure of official engagements has prevented it from being put upon my desk sooner. I wish to express my high appreciation of your able and convincing argument upon the subject of the relations of the members of your ion to tietr patients, Itisa matter of self-cot la- tion that in my letter of the 18th of November to the commissioner of pensions, which you inform me Was read before your learned body, I expressed sentiments so fully and precisely in ‘accord with those gei forth in the paper before me. Thdeed, I thought the matter was settled by the assurances contained tn that letter that no questions would be sed to any member of your association as to the nature of ;e sickness of any clerk in the de- partment applytng for a leave of absence, and by the further statement that “the delicate and con- fidential relations which generally do and should ways exist between the phfsteian and his tient, and the absolute discretion of the former (0 withhold any information in reference to the cause of sieknemt are fully recognized by this department.” Whilst disclaiming any right to demand “any sort of a certificate” from you, any information which may be accorded to this de- Partinent, or one of ity bureaus, by any member ot your learned body, in the form of a certificate or otherwiec, either as a matter of favor or courtesy, will be highly valued and recetve most respectful consideration, J accept with hearty concurrence of feeling and opinion your spirited statement that you “cannot recognize the authority of any government om- cial, however high his rank, to demand any kind of a certificate from you, and that you give such certificates as a matter of favor to patients, and a matter of courtesy to their oMctal superiors.” In ‘such emphatic Taaguaae I think I find a sure gual antec that you will accord to this department like freedom from interference in the management: of its own business, and especially in tie rules-It muy prescribe for the regulation of its clerical force. Your contention that I should require the com- missioner of pensions to “surrender” to you the hames of those members of your association wh he thinks, have given mtsleading certificates, cannot viéld to, T know nothing personally of tne certificates, or of the persons referred to, and_un- hesitatingly disclaim any imputation upon your honorable and learned body; but in the vast deal- ings of this department with men of all protes- Slons, assoclations,corporations und organizations, Wwe sometimes find individuals, even among physi- clans lawyers and the clergy, who are gullty of improper conduct. To fui to the various or- anizitions to which such men respectively be- long thelr names and the proofs of thelr misdoings would be impracticable. ‘This part of your letter has, however, been referred to the commissioner Of pensions for such action as ne may deem proper in the premises, Very respectfully, [Signed.} 1, QC.
