Dear Colonel Briones,

3 Januar.v 45

Your le tter of 31 December 44 received and contents noted. I am shocked about t he true condition of your otltfit . Your letter will be forwarded to Major Ramsey at the earliest possible time .

I mt1shwr.ite frankly ---- the people of our Engr Dn are reluctant to help yo ll properly pecallse you are offically assigned to PlviD for r einforcement duty. our people feel that PMD is not taking care of its responsibility to f urnish you proper food and medical supply. Perhaps thi~.s, t he wrong attitude for t he •I;

p~ople of Dampe to have and I will try to change~ opinion at once.

Il the meantime , we are doin~ our best to help your OLltfit 1specially with medical supply.

• Inclosed find copies of my conununications on this matter . Best regards and keep up your spirit .

I

Sincerely,

JOHN P BOOHE Bvt Colonel, G F C P
