Description

Correspondence between Dewey Miller and Mallie Martin, Secretary to the Governor, regarding employment. Miller requests a recommendation for employment as a fish and game warden with the State, and Miller writes he has heard ex-servicemen are preferred for the positions. In the postscript, Miller references a trip Martin made to France during which Martin attempted to photograph Miller's grave. Martin responds to indicate he will ask the State Game Commissioner to give Miller's application careful consideration and is willing to vouch for Miller's character as a good soldier. Martin also reminisces on searching a cemetery in France for Miller's grave.
