Box 520875, Biscayne Miami, Florida 33152 24, 1975 Annex Dear Bob: Enclosed please find your slides on spongiform degeneration and the short movie. These should have been returned to you earlier. I was unaware that Dr. Lindenberg had selected the ones we are going to use and had returned them to my files. I do hope the delay has not inconvenienced you. I may tell you that when Art Jampolsky showed what he had termed "Walshian Eye Movements", he stressed the capacity of patients to use convergence to obtain unusual eye positioning. The movie was excellent. In my comment I cited a patient reported to have normal movements in all directions. At will he could converge the eyes complete and fixing with either eye could converge the fellow eye. Then fixing with either eye he could completely abduct the fellow eye and as a grand finale he would abduct both eyes to their fullest extent which proves that under voluntary control thee es have divergence ower ins ite of what we do not kn w about a divergenc hen of synkinetic movements s owe it brought down the house. My sincere thanks. Best wishes as always. Yours sincerely, Frank FBW/mlc B. Walsh, M.D.
