LETTER

St. Petersburg
June 14th, 1934

Mr. Roumelle Bowen
Tallahassee, Florida

Dear Mr. Bowen,

To make you fully understand will have to go into detail.

I was receiving a pension from S.C. when I came to Florida but after I had been 
here about a year was informed I could no longer get it or it was against the 
rules of the state to give a pension to one who had moved to another state.  I 
had money in two Banks in South  Carolina so decided I could live without a 
pension but later the Bank failed so I wrote you but was informed I had not been 
here the required time.  Then wrote to South Carolina explaining my position 
they kindly sent me a few dollars now & then.  The last received was in November 
1938.

Thanking you very much for your kindness

I am
Sincerely
Mrs. Nora Abrams
