DEAR SIR:
The Hon. Commissioner Of Pensions has
decided that, under the law, an attorney Is
entitled to ask of and receive from claimant
reasonable amount, not TO exceed the sum OF
TWO DOLLARS, to cover incidental expenses
necessarily incurred by the attorney IN the
prosecution OF a claim This item OF eS oense
is Il small matter TO an individual claimant, but
to am attorney is heavy drain on his re-
sources, aud claimants are expected 90 see mo
whole in the matter
To apply ON the expense account In your
case we would respectfully ask thut you al
once send us the sum Of Two Dollars This is
in TO sense any part of the fee to be paid Tor
services in the prosecution of your claim, as
that is payable only upon the allowance OF the
claim but is TO reimburse us for actual eA-
penses incurred in the case. Send by Postofliee
Money Order, Postal Note or in one or two
cent postage stamps.
Your prompt attention Is solicited.
Very truly,

As he had sent the other remit
tances in currency, the soldier con
eluded it must have been lost in the
mail, so on receiving this last cir
cular, promptly procured a postal
note for one dollar, and forwarded,
making in all three dollars he has
paid on this account of incidentals.
After forwarding the last dollar, he
saw in the Americmn Tribune, Of
indianapolis, an expose of similar
frauds practiced on other pension
claimants, by pension sharks at
Washington, and realized how he
had been feeced, with probably
thousands Of others throughout the
codntry. This publication, ii is
hoped, is in time to save other
soldiers of this vicinity from being
similarly imposed upon. II agents
known to have done this thing are
not debarred from further practice
in the pension office, The Commits
sioner should explain why not.
