Lewis to Hon George B. Schwabe, requesting assistance in getting compensation for tuberculosis allegedly contracted while working at the Normoyle Quartermaster Motor Base. The Compensation Commission disallowed his claim, but Mr. Lewis believes he is entitled to compensation due to the poor working conditions and medical evidence of his disability. He asks for a monthly payment of $80 and assistance in getting a bill passed through Congress. He expresses gratitude for any help in advance.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
