Dear Bates -

It was mighty
good to get your long letter,
so newsy and reminiscent.
As to Barkers death I had
heard of it several weeks ago
through a friend of his. At that
time I sent a strong affidavit
to the effect that Barker was
seriously gassed, and also
sent word to Dave Cutler and
Pearson asking them to submit
