Your letter of yesterday just received, I, at the conclusion of work as Chief Clerk to the Davie County Local Board, have written Dr Ramsay of teh labor Committee offering my services free to aid in any way I could helping the Boys get jobs in Davie. I dont think you need have any fears as to this County; for nearly all of our boys were farmers, and the demand for labor of that kind seems as great or greater than the supply, we are not atall uneasy but what every one who wants to work can get work in this County. My office is open and my services have been given free to all the soldiers & their relatives, in aiding them adjust their claims for back pay, allowances insurance and any unpaid balances due soldiers or their heirs, and I have the satisfaction of knowing that I have been of much service to them so far, and I am still ready to serve them. I wrote a letter to the Adj. Genl. a few days ago about a Deserter-this Board sent to Camp Greene on Dec. 31st. this man was in the second contigent called for induction, Oct. 1917 I think he was inducted failed to entrain, laid out in the bushes until after the Armistice, came to Mocksville on Dec 31st. 1918, was arrested by the town policeman, sent to Camp Greene as a most willful deserter-was paid $30,00 per month as long as he was there, was given an Honorable Discharge, and the $60,00 Bonus and a U. S. Army uniform to disgrace, and sent home about two weeks ago, the people are very indignant at the action taken by the authorities, and are threatening to turn down any further subscription to liberty Bonds, and some of the A. E. F Soldiers in that localityn are threatening to forcibly unfrock him of the - Uniform, we dont understand such action by the Camp Greene authorities, and I am free to say that I am quite indignant myself-to allow such a man to disgrace the Army Uniform is incomprehensible to us, for there was not one plausable excuse for his desertion- but to evade Military Service and set at - defiance the laws of our Country-its a deplorable case, and if it can be - reviewed and the cowardly skunk punished, it should be done and atonce.
