Dear Captain Boehm,
I am greatly disappointed at the Extraordinary delays that occur in this matter. Despite repeated assurances from every quarter that the matter is "settled" and the order will be given,

nothing occurs.
It is four weeks tomorrow since the 3 corporals arrived here from Limburg! The have quite lost heart and are in despair - and told me yesterday if no more takes place ay once it is hopeless. The whole thing could have been done now and one or two companies formed if there had been any

c/o U.S.A. Consulate General Munich 2 Sept 1915.

c/o USA Consulate General Munich 3 July 1915 Dear Captain Boehm, I send you copies of parts of letters I got today from the three Corporals at Limburg.
I would beg you to lay them before the Officer in the General Staff charged with the matter. The two men, Kavanagh and Sewell should not have

for, believe me it is the only thing to do.
No public announcement need be made, but the men should be put into uniform without delay and then we can look forward to action in U.S.A. and, I hope, to further recruits at Limburg.
But if this is not done I see only a triumph
