My dear Heath:
Woodrow Wilson
Confidential.The case of young Jenkins is indeed an unusual one and a distressing one. I am afraid it is not going to be possible to excuse individual guardsmen, but I believe that I can say confidentially that they will probably not be much longer detained at the border as organizations.
I am, of course, sending your letter with Jenkins' on to the Secretary of War, and you may be sure it will receive as much consideration as is possible in the circumstances.
