e On the 12th I notified him that orders were issued to resume the draft for quotas, as designated in the President's letter (see copy). - J. B. Fry.

f On the 16th I wrote from New York City and told him the drawing would begin on Wednesday, 19th instant. - J. B. Fry.

g I have given him all the information I could and all I supposed he wanted. See my letter herewith to Secretary of War.- - J. B. Fry.
