DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
UNITED STATES PENITENTIARY
LEAVENWORTH KANSAS.

December 2, 1921.

Mr. W. I. Biddle, Warden
United States Penitentiary.
Leavenworth, Kansas.

Sir:

In response to your request for report on the enclosed letter from the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute, re: I.W.W. prisoners confined in this institution, I beg to state that we have at this time only two members of that organization here who are afflicted with tuberculosis.

[Caesar Tahib], Register 13582, and Edward Quigley, Register 13578 are both confined to the Tubercular Annex of the hospital, and are receiving the treatment given to patients of this class. Proper diet, tonic, and full privilege of fresh air and exercise is the treatment given. These men are, generally speaking in a better condition than when they were received at the institution. Others of this class, we are unable to give any record of, as they are no longer confined in the institution.

Respectfully,

(sgd) A. F. Yohe
Physician
