Mrs. Donnelly wrote to Congressman Schwabe asking for help in getting her son, who was taken out of school and into the service at 18, discharged and returned home from Europe.

Congressman Schwabe responds by informing her of his efforts to introduce legislation on this issue and expresses sympathy as he also has four sons in the service. He promises to do all he can to help her and other families in similar situations.
