follows: V
"I have yours of the 8th instant in
closing copy pf letter received by you
from the office of the Surgeon General
with its inclosure, with regard to the
condition at Camp Polk about which I
complained to you In a letter of De

which you sent me. .
"My letter to -yon was based, at I am
sure you understood from it, upon com

spected ladies of Baleigh, ladies of
highest character, whose devotion to the
boys wearing the uniform of the, gov
ernment, led them to render any and

gardless of consequences to themselves.
These services were wholly voluntary.
They nursed wherever the sick soldier?

of which was devoted entirely to the

Major Harrington, that in paragraph
six he thinks it strange that a man in

make such statements as contained

no other sources of knowledge were

more specific information regarding the
proposed expenditure and criticism' of
the President, Herbert C. Hoover anil
