July 22, 1918.

Mr. Alex Wetmore,
C/o Mr. F.E. Garlough,
1011 Forum Bldg.,
Sacramento, Cal.

Dear Mr. Wetmore:

Your memorandum note stating that salary check for the period June 15 to 30, 1918, which was mailed to you at Gallup, N.M., had not been received, is at hand.

As requested, we are asking the Disbursing Office to have payment on this check stopped and a Bond of Indemnity prepared, which will be sent you later, for use in requesting the issuance of a duplicate check in case the original check does not show up in the meantime.

If you have not already done so, it would be well for you to communicate with the Postmaster at Gallup to make absolutely sure that the letter in question is not being held. Should the original check reach you, you should not attempt to cash it until advising this office, in order that stoppage of payment may be removed.

Very truly yours,
