Mr. R. M. Reese,
Chief Clerk.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of July 14 is received. I enclose a list of the colored employees of the Forest Service in Washington, D.C. The matter of color does not enter into the personnel records, and there is no means of securing this information regarding the force outside of Washington except by special inquiry. The District Foresters and the Director of the Laboratory at Madison have been asked for it, and as soon as their replies are received a supplemental list for the force outside of Washington will be sent to you.
Very truly yours,
James B. Adams
Acting Forester.
