Dear Sir
Enclosed please find affidavit of Catharine Riechert de- claring that there is no record evidence of the death of her father and giving the reasons accounting for her recollection.
As these matters were stated in open court before our Court of Common Pleas which was perfectly satisfied with the ident- ity of the claimant and the date of the death, I presumed no difficulty could possibly arise particularly after the Prothonotary was directed to certify these facts by the President Judge, to the Pension Department —
Yours
Very Respectfully
