Of course, the faot that may have brought underwear inte the penitentiary, and the fact that a guard may heve taken uncensored mail out of the penitentiary, are \ altogether possible. — Personally, I am of the opinion that there is nothing in the manuscript which would aid the Bureau in furthering the ine vestigation of this matter. I am inclined to believe that the only useful purpose which the manuscript might serve would be to have it handed to the Warden of the penitentiary for his information. It might aid him in the administration of the prison, At least, the Bureau might desire to hayes the contents of the manuscript disoussed with [Warden Ae Cy.
