- Description
- Dear Mr. Carter: Enclosed are copies of a report concerning the Swiss Govt. and memoradnum which I sent the Assistnant Secreary of War today. I talked to Mr. Stinson two days ago and he agreed something must be done at once. I believe he will do his utmost. I shall keep after this angle of forcing the Swiss and IRC to do something concrete toward helping our men. Non of the other sources have talked to me. Lt. Col. Water in letter dated 26 Nov stated, "everything about the same. We are not celebrating Thanksgiving today but expect to next week when we are expecting 1200 food parcels we ahven't had any parcels since October" I'll let you know of any new developments and articularly whe I am able to get a first hard report inside conditions of Oflag 64. Sincerely yours, Thomas D Drake
