Dear Mrs. Cassella:
This will acknowledge your letter of 22 April, 1945 in which you request information concerning your brother, Albert Barns Hatten.
This office has received no record of service for Mr. Hatten since he signed off the SS Blue Jacket 2 November, 1944 in San Francisco, California.
It is possible he is employed on a United States Army Transport or a vessel operation under foreign registry in which case this office would not receive a record of his service.
If you believe he is employed on an Army Transport it is suggested you communicate with their office of Civilian Personnel, Pentagon Building, Arlington, Virginia.
