COP Washington, D. C. March 20, 1941 Mr. Walter B. Boyd Butterfield, -issouri Dear Mr. Boyd: Replying to your letter of the Nine- teenth, I find that a member of my office staff discussed your case with the Board of Veterans Appeals, and it seems that your case has been certified but the Board is so far behind in its work that it will be some time before any action is taken in the matter. You understand, of course, that appeals are received from all over the United States, and they are considered by the Board in accordance with their appearance on the appeal docket. I cannot tell you just when your case will be reached on the docket, but 1 will be glad to keep in touch with the Board in your behalf and notify you when a decision has been reached. Sincerely yours, Harry S. Truman HST/ro NATIONAL ARCHIVES & RECORDS Es ADMIN to GOVERN 13
