STATE OF LOUISIANA
OFFICE OF
Board of Pension Commissioners
Board meets second Tuesday in March, June
September and December.

JUDGE A.C. ALLEN, PRESIDENT
FRANKLIN, LA.
E.F. BRIAN, SECRETARY
BATON ROUGE, LA.

BATON ROUGE, LA., July 12th 1915.
Mr E.E. Galligan
Forest Hill La.  Dear Sir.
Replying to your letter of the ---- I beg to say that if I
appeared to be ugly in my letter of the8th, [sic] I beg pardon,
for I did not intend to be, and I will add, that I shall hold
matters up in the case of Anna Bass. It still looks queer to me,
that a Justice of the Peace would be having mail placed at his
disposal when the party addressed was no where in the
neighborhood. It was Calvit's name to the application that gave
me such confidence in the claim. I always felt sure of the claim
that had his name to the papers for I viewed him as an honorable
gentleman, and I have not changed that view. Looking at the
matter as I do now, I shall refer all papers to the Boar before 
any more pension is sent out from this office.

Very respectfully.
Secy.
