Letter from Francis E. Warren to William H. Taft
Senator Warren, chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, requests Secretary of War Taft to provide the committee with information about the bullets used for Springfield rifles. The committee wants to know if the government performs chemical analyses of bullets or materials to create bullets sold to the government, if the Union Metallic Cartridge Company preserves records of their chemical analyses, and if he has any information on the ingredients and percentages of materials used to fabricate bullets from manufacturers other than the government.
