U. S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE Fort Mia sou la, Montana Mr. W� F. Kelly, Chief Supervisor of Border Patrol, Immigration and naturalization Service, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Kelly: We learned this noon through the Northern Pacific that 125 will reach here 6115 on the morning of Friday the 9th� We will be ready for them. \7Q have secured from Major Sullivan a man who recently completed training a group of so-called subaltrans in CCC mess management to set up the mess in cooperation with the Chief Steward, Mr, De Eaca; we have also received considerable assistance from this instructor regarding the setting up of the consolidated mess, which, incidently, he highly recommends. ? have arranged to have the baggage fumigated upon arrival by the CCC Doctor who does that work: for them in a place provided* We have arranged for CCC transportation to haul the baggage and the aliens in the event that it is raining or for any other reason transportati is required. \p will have breakfast ready for them if it appears that the train iz on tima, otherwise provision should be made to serve them breakfast. We have stocked the kitchen and the bakery and have outlined the area within which they must remain unless given a pass signed by me or by Mclaughlin in my absence. ? plan to put either Mr. I# Rosa or Mr. De Luca on the train at Butte to come in with the group and to hand out instructions and assignments to quarters. When the train gets hare we should have a very orderly disembarkation. Mr� Brisco today promised me that he would have his surveyor run the line immediately for the additional fencing; he also promised to put the speed on the application for that project. Mr. Kreindei is working industriously and is about finished with the fence as far as we can go without wire. He is fixing up the old Efo. Ill quartermaster unit dormitory (to the south of the barracks) for th officers and is preparing a mess for them in the old tin building to the rear. V/e learned upon the arrival of Mr* $& Rosa and De Lucca that the officers HAD to be entirely separate* At first, however, some of the junior officers will have to sleep in the large barracks in rooms provided because we will have to set up additional facilities close to the quartermaster barracks. We estimate that there will be around 60 officers when the 1000 are here. The mess we plan will accomoda that number arid more. How are the chances of getting a complete list of all those who are coming with their occupations and rankf- we are going ahead with the work on the mess hall now that it is finally vacated. By the way, it would appear that we might be able to handle the laundry and baking here for Lincoln. I am going to look into this and so is Wall: If we can do it satisfactorily we should not need the two set-ups. I have boosted your telegrams about Fort Peck to Walls for when he left he planned to spend one day at Lincoln and proceed to Peck which is much nearer there than here. Your message today could not be complied with for we have lists on only a small fraction of the property M IN REPLYING PLEASE REFER TO THIS FILE NUMBER May 6, 1941
