directed to select those who, from the
papers submitted and other evidence

suited. From the foregoing you will
understand the great difficulty the
examining boards had in carrying out
instructions and making their selec-
tions.
It is regretted that you were not
selected, but you are assured that
your tender of services at the time is
appreciated and commended, and en-
titles you to credit for the patriotic
impulse that prompted your desire to
attend said camp and serve your
country, fully equal to that of the
successful candidate. 1t is hoped,
therefore, that you will maintain the
same spirit of patriotism and devo-
ton to your country and should fu-
ture opportunity open that you will
be equally ready.
Very respectfully,
