TO MRS. FRANCES O. BALDES HANKS:
THIS REFERS TO YOUR LETTER OF OCTOBER 8, 1959, IN WHICH YOU AGAIN PROTEST THE ACTION TAKEN TO DEDUCT $124.24 FROM YOUR CIVIL SERVICE RETIREMENT FUND ACCOUNT IN SATISFACTION OF AN INDEBTEDNESS INCIDENT TO THE SHIPMENT OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD GOODS FROM NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, TO ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO.
SINCE YOUR LETTER DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY INFORMATION OR EVIDENCE TENDING TO REFUTE THE GOVERNMENT'S POSITION AS ESTABLISHED BY THE OFFICIAL RECORD, INCLUDING YOUR SIGNATURE SHOWING RECEIPT OF THE TWO SHIPMENTS WITH WHICH YOU WERE CHARGED, THERE IS NOTHING WE MAY ADD AT THIS TIME TO WHAT WE WROTE IN OUR LETTER OF AUGUST 3, 1959. IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH EVIDENCE AS WE INVITED FROM YOU IN THAT LETTER, WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO AFFIRM THE ACTION TAKEN TO RECOVER THE INDEBTEDNESS.
