THE MILK SITUATION IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. 243 



In answer to yours of November 28, I have to say that I believe you have, 

 right on the grounds in Washington, all the necessary authorities and should be 

 able to receive a complete report upon the local situation which would form the 

 basis* of action which would be at once suitable to the needs of Washington 

 and prove of profit to the rest of us in the solution of our own local problems. 



I should be glad to be of help in any way possible, but feel personally that this 

 letter is the best help that I can give you. 



Yours, very truly, F. F. WESBEOOK.

DEAR SIRS : I inclose replies to as many of the questions in your excellent 

 set of papers on milk supply as I felt that I could answer. 



If the results of this questionnaire are published, I should be very glad to 

 receive a copy of it, as I should think they would be of great value. 

 Sincerely, yours, 



C. B. A. WINSLOW.

DEAR SIRS: Referring to your favor of the 28th instant reminding us of 

 your previous communication, would say that if you have made very much of 

 au examination of the milk question you certainly are aware that it is an in- 

 tricate one. We do not wish to make any haphazard or premature answers to 

 the questions which you have so intelligently compiled, and, considering the 

 vast amount of general misinformation circulated on the milk question and the 

 premature conclusions in some quarters, we felt that the inquiry which you had 

 in hand was a movement along the right line, for it is time that the public 

 itself, and the consuming public in particular, be informed more correctly on 

 some of the phases of the milk question that seem to be debatable. Our stand- 

 point is that the so-called milk question involves the producer, distributor, and 

 consumer, and, therefore, can not be intelligently considered unless these factors 

 are properly investigated. We expect to have the report ready in a few days 

 and will forward to you promptly. 



Very truly, yours, BORDEN'S CONDENSED MILK Co., 



F. J. TAYLOR, President.
