Dear John:

Enclosed please find your Federal Employees Retirement System handbook which you were kind enough to share with me. I apologize for being so late in returning it. I thought I had already sent it to you.

Thank you again for all of your help and information you shared with me while I was considering the clerk's position with the Eleventh Circuit.

Hope you and yours have a safe and happy holiday season.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
