Marc Wortman, a writer in New Haven, discovered the letter last fall while researching a book about pioneering World War I aviators from Yale. He immediately shared his find with the Yale Alumni Magazine where he had been an editor.

Mead's report was addressed to his fellow "Bonesman" F. Trubee Davison, who helped select new followers during the war.
