Seeking records of Philippine General Hospital

Dear Ms Alfiler,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and found a series titled General Classified Files, 1914-1945 in the Records of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, 1868-1945 (Record Group 350) that  includes two file units: 21274-26 that consists of periodicals relating to the hospital scandal and 21274-35 that contains the “Special Report of the Investigation of the Phillipine General Hospital'' from 2 September 1916. Neither file unit included the letter you seek. We also located  a series titled Manuscript Reports of the Philippine Commission, 1900 - 1915 in Record Group 350 that may contain the records you seek.

The staff of the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) will be pleased to make both of these series available to you or your representative in the Textual Research Room located 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD, near the University of Maryland--College Park campus.
