[Letter from Truett Latimer to Briggs Todd, July 30, 1959]

Description: Letter from Truett Latimer to Briggs Todd discussing Latimer's support for a Conference Committee Report on House Bill 18.

He also mentions that the tax bill passed by the House the previous week included a 1.5% Severance Beneficiary Tax with no fall back on the producer.
