Color view of the five-story brick Milwaukee Medical College building on a street corner, its facade stacked with rows of windows and a small tree at the entrance; a darker stone building stands to the right under a blue sky with clouds. The printed caption names the school as the medical department of Marquette University.
Addie's note to Vena Cinnamond in Rutland describes a five-week stay at Trinity Hospital in Milwaukee after a serious operation; she writes that she is going home that night.

Milwaukee, Trinity Hospital.
Dear Ora, Here is where I have
been for five weeks. Have had a
most serious operation. It has sur-
prised the doctors that I lived.
Have been laid up unable to
do a thing since last August.
I go home to-night on sleeper.
Love to all
Addie.
