IT IS FURTHER STATED THAT YOUR NAVAL LEAVE RECORDS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED TO SHOW THAT A BALANCE OF 13 DAYS ACCRUED AND UNUSED LEAVE WAS DUE YOU ON AUGUST 31, 1946, INSTEAD OF A ZERO LEAVE BALANCE OF THAT DATE.
ALSO ENCLOSED IS A PHOTOSTATIC COPY OF YOUR CORRECTED NAVAL LEAVE RECORD, PREPARED MAY 5, 1955, BY THE DISCHARGED NAVAL PERSONNEL RECORDS BRANCH, NAVAL RECORDS MANAGEMENT CENTER, GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK.
