Re:  William A. Lundy, dec'd.
     Confederate Pensioner #81148

Dear Sir:

It was with sincere regret that news was received of Mr. William A. Lundy's death, 
and I wish to express to you and to your family our deepest sympathy in his passing.
Under date of January 20, 1942, Mr. Lundy executed designation of beneficiary, as 
required by laws of Florida, in which he named you as beneficiary to receive any 
unpaid amount that might be due at date of death from Confederate Pension Funds.

In order that this may be determined, and for the records of the Office, it is 
necessary that a certificate be executed giving this information, by the physician 
attending Mr. Lundy during his last days of illness.  This form is enclosed, and it 
will be appreciated if you will have the physician execute same and return to me, 
and as soon as it is determined whether there is any amount due for the month of 
September, a warrant will be issued to his beneficiary.

It is assumed that the warrant issued to Mr. Lundy for the month of August was 
received in time for him to have endorsed it before his death; however if this is 
not the case, it will be necessary for you to return August warrant, which will be 
cancelled and a new warrant issued in your name as beneficiary.

With kindest regards I remain,

Very truly yours,
