Respectfully returned, approved, I have approved the requisition on the grounds that the fuel seems to have been absolutely necessary for the comfort of the sick in Hospital - the weather having been much more damp and cool than usual at this season of the year. The Bureau offices manual is silent in regard to fuel for Hospital after the month of April - This throws us upon the U.S.A. Regulations of the Hospital. These regulations allow after April one half a cord of wood to a fire - but permit where absolutely necessary an increased allowance. I consider this a case which such increased allowance is necessary.
