On August 23, Lazear sat down and wrote to his wife, who was now in the hospital on bed rest as she awaited the birth of their baby. In his letter, Lazear expressed his frustration with the fact that both Reed and Carroll seemed so preoccupied with the Sanarelli controversy: “Reed and Carroll have been at that for a long time and they have notions as to what we should do that I don’t agree with. They are not inclined to attempt as much as I would like to see done . . . I would rather try to find the germ without bothering about Sanarelli.”

In letters to both his mother and his wife, Lazear never mentions the experiments he conducted on himself. It may be that he did not want to worry them; two days later, he received word that his wife, Mabel, gave birth to a daughter named Margaret. He wrote to his mother, “The distance seems very great at a time like this.”
