Letter from John K. Stayman to Edgar E. Hastings

John Keagy Stayman questions Edgar E. Hastings as to when the draft will be lifted from Cumberland County, as he is “considered by Uncle Sam a ‘first class man’.” He also asks whether or not Dickinson College is still being used as a hospital, and hopes that it will quickly be vacated so that the smells of the medical supplies will dissipate from the “tower of the Muses, Classic Shades, Academic Groves, and all that sort of thing.” Transcript included.
