Dear Dr. Morgan
Many thanks for your reply to my telegram sent yesterday. I am sorry you regret I sent it, but perhaps you will realise I have been here at Chateauroux 21 days & after spending hundreds of francs in telegrams to the Medical Aid Office, etc until today I have received no acknowledgement of any letter or wire for the last ten days. But happily owing to the constant phoning by me to the C.S.I. in Paris, the parts have arrived today & the work is being done with all speed.
Actually I felt it my duty to explore every & any avenue which might have led to some little extra effort being made. I feel that the holding up of the medical supplies for the alleviation of human suffering is nothing short of criminal. I quite understand that the trouble arose owing to the ignorance of the proceedure in shipping goods abroad by West & Chittenden during the time Geo [ George ] Jeger was on holiday, but I do think some little consideration should have been shown by replying to at least some of the correspondence sooner. This
