Description
This folder contains a variety of correspondence to and from McDaniel Lewis, including his letter to Mr. Enoch Price of "The Democrat" about an erroneous article regarding a complaint by enlisted men of an unpleasant incident which evidently the paper laid at the feet of the draft board (Item 001) and a 1942 request for figures to the clerks of the Greensboro draft boards to compare current data with totals "for the World War" which he already possessed (Item 002). Other items from McDaniel Lewis are a typed thank-you to George Perrin for his assistance in various registrations (Item 003), information and instructions for the Third Registration Day (Items 006 & 007), the proclamation of and instructions for the Fourth Registration Day (Items 004 & 005), a request to the Superintendent of Documents for a copy of the published report of the Provost Marshal of the army for 1918 (Item 012), and a thank-you note to Mr & Mrs Ralph Greeson for their Christmas card (Item 011). Items directed to Mr. Lewis include a typed statement from Grady W. Coble that one of his employees was "plain dumb in some respects" and hampered by a lack of education (Item 008), a handwritten request by Helen P. Moffet for timely notification of the potential drafting of Bob or Howard Moffett so that they would have time to apply for a commission (Item 013), a typed notification that 1100 "Fall In" booklets were shipped to Mr Leroy Thacker at cost for 2 cents each (Item 009), and a two-page handwritten thank-you note from Olivia Greeson (Item 010).
