TO DR. F. E. NORMAN:
YOUR LETTER OF JUNE 8, 1957, FURNISHED INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PAYMENT OF THE UNPAID COMPENSATION DUE THE LATE MAE MARSHALL, A DECEASED EMPLOYEE OF THE UNITED STATES TREASURY DEPARTMENT, TO MR. HUBERT KEELING, SAID TO BE HER REAL FATHER.
WE ARE ENCLOSING A COPY OF OUR LETTER OF TODAY TO MR. KEELING, IN WHICH WE EXPLAIN THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT THAT HE MAY BE THE REAL FATHER OF MAE MARSHALL, PAYMENT OF THE UNPAID COMPENSATION MAY BE MADE TO LAWFUL PARENTS ONLY, AND THAT SINCE HE NEVER BECAME HER LAWFUL FATHER, HE MUST REFUND THE ENTIRE AMOUNT. YOU WILL NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT THIS LETTER APPLIES ONLY TO THE UNPAID COMPENSATION AND NOT TO THE INSURANCE PAYMENTS OR RETIREMENT DEPOSITS, THE DISTRIBUTION OF WHICH IS GOVERNED BY STATUTES OTHER THAN THAT QUOTED IN OUR LETTER TO MR. KEELING.
