He is a close friend and years ago was a candidate for Governor

serve him if possible.
Have taken the matter up with the
Adjutant General's Office and secured what information is
disclosed by the records there, but it was suggested that possibly
additional information could be obtained through your Bureau
as the widow of the soldier received a pension.
Anything that you can do in helping us would be greatly
appreciated. Kindly return the enclosed letter for my files.
Very truly yours,
