Dear Mr. Rhodes:

The transfer to the new facilities went well, and I trust you have been overseeing 
the process from a distance. If there is anything I can do to assist, please let me 
know.

The facilities themselves are excellent, and I am confident that we can do good work 
with our patients here. Both patients are settling in nicely, although they were, 
understandably, quite concerned about Dr. Walker's absence, as was I. I am delighted to 
see such signs of empathy from them, and from Mr. Job in particular.

However, I regret to say that I am concerned about Dr. Walker's recent behaviour. I am not 
sure what you have heard about his absence, if anything. We were told that he had a family 
emergency. However, we had also been contacted by Miss Avery and Miss Summers. They warned us 
that they had reason to believe someone might be attempting to kidnap Dr. Walker, myself, or 
our patients.

There has no attempt on me or on our patients. But, Dr. Walker's family emergency coincided 
with the telegrams we were sent. This may, of course, be coincidental, and I have not presumed 
to contradict Dr. Walker's story, which I have no particular reason to disbelieve. And, in any 
case, whatever the cause of his absence, I am satisfied that he had no choice in the matter, and 
I have nothing but sympathy for my colleague.

He has set a room aside for himself. I am not, you understand, speaking of his office, but of a 
larger space. He alone holds the key to this room, and he has refused entry to me. I have asked him 
why he has done this, but he has failed to give me a satisfactory answer. He allows only Mr. Job 
into the room with him.

Perhaps you will think that this a matter of Mr. Job's therapy. But, there is nothing about this 
in Mr. Job's files, and Dr. Walker is, as I am sure you knew when he was given his present position, 
meticulous about keeping his records up to date. Therefore, I do not believe that he is treating 
Mr. Job in that room.

I have, of course, asked Mr. Job about this myself. However, he is easily suggestible, and Dr. Walker 
has convinced him not to speak of what is in that room or what happens there.

I hope that you can understand why I am concerned. Others have noticed Dr. Walker's strange 
behaviour as well, and have come to me for some explanation of it, and of the strange noises coming 
from that room. It would set my mind at ease, Mr. Rhodes, if you could look into this matter, 
learn the truth, and tell me what Dr. Walker is doing, so that we may all further the aims of the 
foundation and see that its resources are all being used appropriately.

Yours most sincerely,
Dr. Jonathan Keaton
