Shaw, a Navy serviceman, expressing interest in the veterans' homestead bill HR 4589, which would divide government land into small farms for veterans. Schwabe acknowledges the importance of the bill for veterans but expresses concern about potential opposition from the New Deal majority in Congress. He mentions that the land would need to be surveyed and subdivided before veterans could file for it. Schwabe promises to keep Shaw informed on the progress of the bill.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
