- Description:
- The document from C.A. Patterson to Honorable Ross Rizley calls for a revision of the Army and Navy caste system, suggesting that enlisted men should have the opportunity to become commissioned officers and that the separation between officers and enlisted men should be eliminated. George B. Schwabe, in response, expresses sympathy for the ideas presented and acknowledges the need for reform in the military system. Schwabe, a father of four boys who served in the war, indicates that he is open to expressing his views on the matter and appreciates the support from constituents like Patterson.
