To Keep I'm Touch With Fall.
| Major to Mclean, December %.
| marked Rush,
| Il do not believe that they intend
| staying with you unless they have
! formed that opinion since YOU wired
| him suggesting that he come there
| for rest I base my belief on the
fact that he had already said that
1 he wanted to leave the city and go
| south, but would wait here until he
heard from you about something
He had already expSoesed himself
about going south Gefore I wired
| you his message a6UOt wanting to
| leave the city. And 61fore you sug-
| gested to him to come there for a
| rest.
81 was told that he had received
such a wire from you.
$50 if he now believes that he is
| to be your guest he surely could not
have been under that impression when
| because at that time he had not re-
| ceived your telegram. l will let you
know definitely after he leaves Ward
| man Park Hotel to go to the station by
I going to the hotel myself and finding
| out his forwarding address.
II am to take his tickets out to the
hotel in the morning on account OF
| the fact that he was unable to secure
| reservation. 1 may find out then
without asking any questions"
A; MITCHELL Palmer to Mclean. De-
| "Saw Senator Walsh this morning.
| Would not commit himself definitely.
but do not believe he will call you IS
g. witness. 1 believe it neither neces-
| sary nor wise for any statement to be
| issued by you or in your name. I am
| filing letter with committee stating
! your connection with Fall and feel
| confident that will prove sufficient
| Am writing.
