The Secretary of War directs that you be inferred that the following entries have been made upon your compiled efficiency record: 1915. The Secretary of War, Honorable Lindley M. Garrison, in a letter dated March 22, 1915, to the President of the United States, said: " ** On Sunday I received a telegram from General Scott dated at Bluff, Utah, stating that he had been successful and had the four Piutes desired by Marshal Nebeker and was personally conducting then to Salt Lake City to turn over to the Marshal. He further states that everything is now peaceful in southern Utah. I am equally relieved and gratified at this intelligence. The situation was extremely dangerous, and it really looked as though an Indian outbreak of serious proportions was almost inevitable. General Scott has, in my opinion, done a very remarkable piece of work, and I have wired congratulating him thereon." 1915* The Secretary of War, Honorable Lindley H. Garrison, in a telegram dated March 21, 1915, to General Scott, said: " I heartily congratulate you obtaining success in circumstances which seemed to make it impossible. ** I appreciate your work in the highest degree. ** I just received your message and have notified all those requested." 1915. The President of the United States, in a letter dated March 23, 1915, to the Secretary of War, said: " This is indeed a remarkable piece of work that General Scott has done and when he returns I shall hope to thank him in person. He is really wonderful in these things. **** " H.P. McCain (?) |
