July 2, 1920.



Mr. R. D. McKercher,
8 West 1st St.,
Duluth, Minnesota

Dear Sir:--

Your letter of June 16th reached my office during by absence. The county officials seem to be taking hold of the Duluth situations in the proper spirit. So far, it has not been necessary for the state officials to participate in the investigation except for the inquiry made by the Adjutant General.

I want to thank you for your offer of cooperation and should it be necessary for us to take hold of the matter further, I will not hesitate to call on you.

Very truly yours,



B/VS
