Dr. S. E. Mezes to the Treasurer of the Inquiry ( Miller )

[ New York ,] October 15, 1918.

My Dear Mr. Miller: After an official conference Colonel House has given instructions that the work of the Inquiry should be speeded up and has authorized a monthly expenditure for this and subsequent months for the Inquiry proper of $25,000 if necessary, with the understanding that additional employees shall be taken on only until the time when the official force proceeds to the Conference, except in such cases as it may prove quite impossible to obtain satisfactory appointees without offering them a longer term.

Very truly yours,

S. E. Mezes
