As part of the effort to stem criticism of the costs and treatment methods at the Maine Sanatorium, officials of the Maine State Sanatorium Association for the Prevention and Treatment of Tuberculosis sent a letter to physicians in June 1913, explaining the purposes and practices of the Maine State Sanatorium.

The letter urged doctors to visit the facility.
