What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

Dear [REDACTED]
We received your letter of October 21, 1977 requesting the evidence that we used to make our determination of the fact of death for [REDACTED] [REDACTED]
Our decision was made on the basis of a Sheriff's Report. We also received a report from the Investigative Division at our Central Office. This re- port stated that the following agencies had been contacted: Federal Bureau of Investigation; Passport Office; Department of State; Bureaus of Records and Statistics, Department of Health, New York City and all boroughs; Bureau of Vital Records, Albany, New York, and the Registrar of Vital Statistics, Sacramento, California.
We did not receive evidence from these agencies. We received a report from our Investigative Service saying that these agencies had been con- tacted and the results proved to be negative. The law permits us to make a decision for Veterans Administration benefits only. The decision we made is not binding on any other agency.
We hope that this answers your question.
Sincerely yours,
[REDACTED]
