3 pages

Reber speaks of John and wants him to return as soon as possible, even if he is sent on to Washington by himself. Reber discusses the details of how and when John will return, then asks Slifer to meet John in Harrisburg to give him directions. Anxious for John’s return, Reber says "this flurry of Johns" will be "a lesson to me that I will not soon forget."
