        226.15  LETTERS TO ADMINISTRATOR.
         The superintendent or other officer in charge of a patient shall,
      without reading the same, receive all letters addressed to the
      administrator, if so requested, and shall properly mail the same, and
      deliver to such patient all letters or other writings addressed to
      the patient.  Letters written to the person so confined may be
      examined by the superintendent, and if, in the superintendent's
      opinion, the delivery of such letters would be injurious to the
      person so confined, the superintendent shall return the letters to
      the writer with the superintendent's reasons for not delivering them.
