TO ROBERT HAWTHORNE, INC.:
REFERENCE IS MADE TO YOUR LETTER OF AUGUST 17, 1955, RELATIVE TO OUR DECISION OF JULY 26, 1955, WHICH SUSTAINED SETTLEMENT DATED OCTOBER 6, 1954, WHEREIN THERE WAS DISALLOWED YOUR CLAIM FOR $14,210.50, FOR SERVICES RENDERED DURING JUNE AND JULY 1953, INCIDENT TO THE REMOVAL OF GOVERNMENT- OWNED RUBBER FROM THE ALBA WAREHOUSE IN PHILADELPHIA. YOU STATE THAT YOU INTEND TO INSTITUTE SUIT, BUT SUGGEST THAT WE RECONSIDER OUR PREVIOUS ACTION IN DENYING YOUR CLAIM AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE DELAY, EXPENSE AND WORK INVOLVED IN LITIGATION.
THE VARIOUS CONTENTIONS URGED IN SUPPORT OF YOUR CLAIM RECEIVED CAREFUL CONSIDERATION IN THE DECISION OF JULY 26, 1955, BUT, FOR THE REASONS FULLY STATED IN THAT DECISION, IT WAS HELD THAT THERE WAS NO LEGAL BASIS FOR PAYMENT OF YOUR CLAIM. YOUR LETTER OF AUGUST 17, 1955, CONTAINS NO INFORMATION OR DATA IN ADDITION TO THAT PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED AND CONSIDERED AT THE TIME THE DECISION WAS RENDERED. FURTHERMORE, A RE- EXAMINATION OF THE RECORD BEFORE US DISCLOSES NOTHING WHICH WOULD JUSTIFY ANY DEPARTURE FROM THE CONCLUSION REACHED IN THE MATTER.
