STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
RALEIGH
October 22nd, 1918.
I beg to submit a communication just recived from the Chairman of the Local Board of Gaston County. This Chairman is a most intelligent and patriotic man and it seems that somebody has put something over on the authorities in camp with respect to the case of Worth C. Carpenter. I am profoundly convinced that this is a case where the furlough ought to be cancelled at once, and the man ordered returned to camp, and I trust that your office will take necessary steps to have it done.
Very truly yours,
