Duplicate Knoxville Tenn. June 10th 1964 Hon Amos Gould, Dear Sir, I write you under some excitement & some indignation. On my return I found myself welcomed by Officers & men, & sincerely so. As soon as opportunity offered Col F called me aside & told me how grievously & shamefully he had been treated by certain officers, & he was enraged. I of course had heard nothing, & knew nothing & report nothing to any man.
