Adjudance General, 8e. Section,
Poste de Campagne No. 17
 

Dear Colonel Probst,

1.    Immediately following the misconduct of 2nd Lieuts.
J.H. Garcia and Oscar C. Sampson, I had a careful investigation made in order that the final result, as far as the U.S. Army is concerned, would be clear.

2.    I find the conduct of both of these officers culpable, and
request you to transfer them to Wauwilermoos as soon as possible and that they be left there until I request their return to another camp, which will not be Davos.

3.    Naturally I regret the incident which is the first noteworthy case of misconduct in Davos which has been brought before me.

        I trust that your action on this will be as rapid as possible.
 

I am enclosing, herewith, for your convenience, a translation in French of the present communication, together with a certified true copy of the signed original report by the investigating officer.

                With the assurance of my high esteem,

                                            I am,
                                                Faithfully yours,
 
 
 
 

                                                                    B. R. Legge,
                                                                    Brigadier General, U.S.A.,
                                                                    Military Attaché
