The document consists of two letters discussing a proposed gratuity of $25 per week for certain classes of war workers.

The second letter expresses concerns about the proposal, including potential delays in reconversion, encouragement of people to take a vacation instead of returning to work, and the impact on inflation and unemployment. The letter suggests that money should be given to returning GI's instead.
