THEREFORE, WE ARE FILING YOUR LETTER OF OCTOBER 3, 1967, WITH THE OTHER PAPERS CONCERNING YOUR CLAIM.

WHILE WE ALWAYS HAVE GIVEN FURTHER CONSIDERATION TO CLAIMS WHICH HAVE BEEN DISALLOWED IF NEW EVIDENCE IS PRESENTED, YOUR RECENT LETTERS HAVE BEEN REPETITIOUS IN NATURE AND HAVE DONE NOTHING MORE THAN QUESTION THE PREVIOUS RULINGS OF THIS OFFICE. SINCE LETTERS OF THIS TYPE CAN SERVE NO USEFUL PURPOSE, ANY SUCH CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED FROM YOU IN THE FUTURE WILL BE FILED WITHOUT REPLY.
