Leprosy case in wartime care prompts family visit plan
John R Early, Washington's leper, will be allowed to see his wife and child in Milwaukee’s volunteer soldiers home. Health officials will permit visits but deny shared lodging, as the War Department struggles to relocate him by rail and reports indicate leprosy cases at Fort Scriven and Island Tybee. The pension office may grant Barry Early total disability pay and a possible attendant allowance, while transit barriers keep him in the District.
