Scope and Contents

The letter from Mr. Leslie J. Coffman to Hon. George B. Schwabe expresses concern about veterans not having the opportunity to purchase surplus equipment before dealers.

The letter also mentions upcoming sales at army camps where veterans will have priority. Additionally, there is criticism of the lack of notice and information provided about these sales to the public.
