My Dear Capt. McVay:
On a visit home 2 year ago this Mo. my son C.T.C. Erwin Eugene Curtis, listed as killed in action with the sinking of the "Indianapolis", told me that he had funds in a San Francisco bank but failed to give me the name of the bank. Could you give me any information on how to find out?
Thanking you I remain
