I may say that during this war we have received many letters of inquiry similar to the one of Dr. J. Harry McLoughlin asking the whereabouts, well-being, etc., of soldiers and officers both in this coun- try and in France, and naturally it was thought that Dr. McLoughlin was interested in you and experienced some anxiety in your welfare, thus we made the inquiry, as the correspondence will show, to the war department.
