Description

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Congress of the United States letterhead, February 5, 1947. Letter to his friend John McQueen, concerning a bookkeeping error which will result in McQueen owing unearned money. In part, “It looks as if the situation is quite a bad one for you and one about which little can be done. The RFC people are apologizing all over the lot and admitting that it is wholly their error, but at the same time maintaining that monies paid you after completion of your annual leave must be repaid…The error evidently occurred when the Texas office failed to notify the personnel office here of your having gone on leave in late October. I don’t know anything that can be done about that, but if you have any suggestions, I will be glad to go all-out on them. Also, if you think anything might be done with regard to the Bureau of Community Facilities job, I would like for you to call the play. You know there isn’t anything I would not do for you.” Boldly signed at the conclusion in blue ink by Johnson. In fine condition, with a staple hole to top left and a few stray ink marks from premature folding. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
