Memorandum for the Secretary of War

It is “very unusual” for groups or individuals to be granted special permission to enter military posts. While some such permissions were granted during the Spanish-American War, none have been granted since. General Corbin concludes that a general permit for the Women’s Christian Temperance Union to visit military posts should not be granted as other organizations would then expect the same privilege.
