deemed proper to notice, well because of its d.

peated and annoying correspondence ana inquiry

this letter it 10 stated that the writer for the time
icing Is a Government claim agent, and in another

Qualifications, to address the Pension Office To the
many applications touching such references no

give general notice that agents haze been duto-
rixed to refer to this office for testimonials OF char
ter qualifications tciH such testimonials be
gipen. Claim agents become 30 OF their own
choice, without any reference to this office, con-
suting it, and they must rest upon their own indi
vidual merits and qualifications for public support.
The Pension Office ought not to afford any partial
discrimination by endorsing any of them, nor will
1 it do so
The circular letter referred to, which it thought
proper thus officially to notice, is founded upon
printed volume published by the United States

Pension Office, in compliance with call from the
Senate of all suspended and rejected pension claims,
