Letter from W. F. Hillebrand to George Otis Smith
Chemist W. F. Hillebrand submits a chemical analysis of the spent bullets from the Brownsville Affair to Director of Geological Survey George Otis Smith at the request of Senator Francis E. Warren, Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs. Hillebrand adds that to accommodate time limitations, no attempt was made to look for trace amounts of potentially unusual chemicals, but it is possible they are present in the bullets.
