The morale of officers had to be sus- tained and you were amply justified in using any or all of the equipment that was sent to you as a contribution to the contentment of the officers with whom you were serving. Our experience tells us that materials were so abundant that if you had diverted the entire con- signment to which~you refer in all probability no hardship would have been worked upon the enlisted personnel of your hospital. We fully appreciate the very high sense of honor indicated by your action, but we feel that there is no necessity for the refund by you of any sum.
