LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Either PreludIce or Ignorance

To the Editor Evening Journal
Sir: I notice an article published in
Wilmington sun on August g, 1900,
making an absurd report Of the work
of the Pension Board of SURGEONS, lo-
Gated in Wilmington. Whoever may
be the author OF this article is either
ignorant of the duties of the Board Of
Surgeons for Pensions, or is prejU-
diced too blindly to consult the board
as to his grievance. thus falsely stated.
Time is too precious TO attempt TO an
swer the article in detail. suffice II to
say the Pension Board of Surgeons in
question is composed of old soldiers
who fought IN our late civil war. We
have never turned down any man.
From the fact that tho act of June -.
1890, entities every man who was I'm
the United States service for ninety
days. and Who has disabilities, whe-
ther they occurred i'm the war, prior or
afterward. to pension. Hence, it is ai-
most impossible to find a man who has
no disabilities. We are sworn officers
TO do justice to both the government
and pensioners. John Guthrie. or any
one, is 40 liberty to examine our certi-
/ hCates, and when they do so, If they
are fair-minded men, they will see
taese certificates are honestly and hon.
/ orably executed.
