Dr. S. E. Mezes to the Division Chiefs of the Inquiry
New York
, July 9,
1918.
In view of the number of requests it has become necessary to send to the various departments in Washington for assistance and co-operation and the confusion that has in some instances resulted, there has been criticism of The Inquiry, and I shall ask you in the future to submit to me all such requests before sending them.
S. E. M[ezes]
