[Letter from I. H. Kempner to James E. Taylor, April 18, 1949]

Letter from I. H. Kempner to James E. Taylor expressing his disappointment about missing a meeting to discuss funding for the Galveston Medical School. He mentions the School needs more funding to benefit the entire state, not just Galveston, and that cutting funds would be a mistake. He urges Senator Taylor to approve the Board of Regents' and Board of Control's request. He also mentions that a small funding increase would allow the School to significantly expand enrollment, highlighting the economic benefit and Texas' educational spending growth.
