Dear Sir;
As I told you. I destroyed the commnication efter having talked to my then
Commanding Officer, when he told me to destroy same. Also as I told you this
communication was in printed form and bore the names of some 25 or 30 people who
were supposed to have been POWs in the Philippines. However, I did not recognize
any of the names printed on the bottom of this communication. However, if the
thought I gave you has uncovered such an organization I'm very glad I mentioned it,
At the time I received this commnication I thought someone was playing a
Practical joke on mee ;
The threat contained therein was "should General MacArthur be elected, the
organization would do it's best to see that he never took oath of office,” and
asked that I agree to assist them. I never wrote or in anyway contacted anyone
concerned.
There were several other former POWs on duty in the same district, however, I.
know of any one, other than myself, who did get one.
I ‘repeat here that I cannot swear to any name thereon. Nor can I say from
where it came, as there was no heading on the commnication. .
Iam sorry that I did not have presence of mind enough to forward this to
the War Department G-2 at the time.
There is nothing further that I can say except that I'm truly sorry that I
have no further information.
Respectfully yours —
