SERVICE ORDER 130. 



Information to Field Men. 



APRIL 12, 14)07. 



At present the field officers are largely left in ignorance of action taken in the 

 Washington office which concerns their work, or are very tardily informed. It is 

 <-t the greatest importance that they be informed in every single case with 

 promptness and in detail. Important matters should be communicated by wire. 

 They should receive without fail carbon copies of all letters involving action 

 which directly or indirectly affects their work, and special notice in every case 

 when carbon copies will not give full information. Close attention to this mat- 

 ter is absolutely essential to good administration.

SERVICE ORDER 133. 



Unpublished Manuscripts and Reports. 



APRIL 30, 1907. 



There are a great many manuscripts on file in the various offices of the 

 Service containing much valuable information which could be used to advantage 

 by the members of the Service in carrying on further investigations or in writing 

 up reports, but which are at present known to only a few. In order to make 

 all the information possessed by the Service available, these manuscripts should 

 be indexed in the library under the system followed with published works. 

 For this reason all Offices are directed to furnish to the Librarian lists of 

 the authors and titles of all reports of members and collaborators of the Service
