telegram from Capt. John r. Bartlett:
Washington. ID. c.. Sept. 10. 1893
DR.. Kelliher, Pawtucket. r. L.:
Have seen surgeon general or army.
He does not think IL advisable to send
sick men to temporary hospitals, as he
has enough offers from regularly es-
tablished hosnitals TO accommodate all
the sick at Montauk. They are being
removed TO such hospitals as fast as
they can be transferred. My position
prevents me from further urging the
matter
CAPT. JOHN r. BARTLETT.
