States His Recollection.

Nv recollection is that I kept the let
ter on my desk a few days, intending
to take up the matter again with the
Secretary. but finally decided not to DO
so. but merely to file it, and that
fresh COPY was made. The date was
nrobablv changed by inadvertance. but
no change was made in the letter be-
yond possibly some verbal alterations.
Certainly no change was made IN the
character or purport of the letter.
II should also like to prove by my
diary that this letter was merely the
essence of a great many
oral conversations carried on frequent
ly after the war began. in which l re-
peatedly urged on the Secretary the
peril of the country and the need for
more men, A general staff and more
progressive training.
