Scope and Contents

The letter from Mr. Adams to Mr. Schwabe outlines several points for consideration, including settling the number of men willing to enlist, determining the number of additional men needed for occupations, speeding up discharges based on age and service, continuing the draft but limiting it to two years, and returning teen-agers to school. Mr. Schwabe acknowledges Mr. Adams' views and expresses some disagreement regarding the continuation of the draft, as he believes it is not catching the individuals they want to target.
