Mrs. Schooling wrote to George B. Schwabe, M.C. asking for help in releasing fathers from the Armed Forces. Schwabe had personally discussed the issue with the President, introduced a bill in Congress, and made speeches in favor of such legislation.

Schwabe thanked Mrs. Schooling for her letter and assured her that he had consistently tried to obtain releases for fathers from the service.
