Mrs. Harriette Yancy,
916 Grant Ave.,
Plainfield, N.J.
Dear Madame:

I am in recipt of your letter and note what you have to say. I beg to advise you that I have made a fair and just settlement, paying you the amount that my life register shows that your son was insured for.

I note that you claim that you were entitled to two more weeks benefits. There is not a way I can pay these claims as you failed to have the cards filled before your son died.

Hoping to receive the policies and receipt by return mail.

Yours truly,
BM Buck
Superientendent.
