Request for admission, filing application in writing, going to the
facility, being shown around courteously with the notation that I
would be notified of an opening, as soon as the next floor was made
available the following week; after repeated requests be telephone
(not having heard from the Director as promised) I was informed
that nobody seemed to have known anything about the initial
application form made in writing.

We will appreciate information from you about the number of Negroes who have
applied to the Hillhaven Nursing Home, the number who have been admitted,
the average time between being placed on a list and being admitted.

Sincerely,

(>.
