Letter to Congress To my honorable congressman‚ It has come to my attention that the question of whether Reconstruction should or shouldn’t end has risen. I have carefully contemplated and I have come to a conclusion that Reconstruction shouldn’t end.

In order for this method to succeed‚ patient safety and satisfaction must be their number one priority.
