My Dear Mr. Fisher-Your very kind
letter OF February 81, 1918. has Just
reached me, and wish to thank the
committee, through YOU. for the en-
closure.
There is no aid needed by me. but I
can assure YOU that we fellows In the
camp appreciate all offers Of this kind
It IS but human TO feel glad that our
former friends and co-workers are
thinking Of us occasionally
The committee can aid us IN this
way: There is an impression that Della
ware troops are not being treated
squarely This is not true, and I wish
10 ask you 10 do all in your power 90
correct this very wrong view To spread
an Idea OF this kind among the people
Of Delaware causes misery and worrj-
ment among those who are interested In
our men. Then, too, some people criti-
else and think these reports emanate
from here, which savors Of Cry Baby
Tactics
Good luck to all the good fellows who
ape in back Of this movement"
