be that they placed no value
on the lives of our sons.

when 1 saw II come over the
teletype that this incident would
not stop the use OF other Obso-

those sons crushed at the bot
tom Of the ocean, l beg OF you
TO look 10 the safety Of the sons
on those other obsOletcs.

Dear Mr.. President
/ am the mother Of Herbert
Talmadge FoSt, who was on tho
Hateful submarine 90.
1t seems so cruel TO think that
our navy allowed submarine
about which there was a question
in regard TO its durability to prac.
.tice diving maneuverS
A vessel built i'm 1918 and show
ing evidences OF weakness. such a,
the 90 had displayed, certainly
was out OF place under water.
However. such regrets will MOI
bring my son back to me.
/ have been informed that The
catastrophe of the 90 will MOI
bring about the diScontinuance OF
the use of other older submarines
This letter is TO implore you not
10 allow The use of these anti
.quated, unfit vessels in the future
Granting that we call last weeks
tragedy an unavoidable accident
any more accidents arising from
similar circumstances would be
nothing short of deliberately send
ing boys 10 an untimely death.
You, Mr.. President can right
the situation.
Won't you give This matter youl
careful consideration
Yours sincerely and respectfully
Cora Il Fost.
