A statement, possibly meant for a press release, written regarding Louis Livingston Seaman, a military surgeon. The document, created from a statement by government worker Frank W. Carpenter, is edited by hand with lines struck through. Seaman “was the most prominent witness before the Beef Commission, and his testimony was rather sensational.” He claimed the army was being overfed, and although he was sent to the Philippines as a contract surgeon, he was there more to conduct business for himself.
