Dre Allen: . Re: Income tax

Mrse Allen told me over the phone that the income is taken from
Jane 1, 1940 to Jane 1, 1941.

She stated you had no mileage indicated on last year's tax report
but you had claimed exemption in the amount of $14.27 = this

was computed by taking 1¢ per gale as Federal tax on gasolinee
At 1¢ a gallon this would mean 1427 gallons of gasolinee MrsSe .
Allen said she thought you said once that you made 10 miles per
gallon - so that would be 14,270 miles during the yeare Of course,
this probably isn't near the mileage you actually travelled, but
it gives you something to work with. She thought perhaps if we
could look up on your College Station bills and see how many
gallons you bought this year we could figure it pretty close =
and we could also check from your trips made for speeches, etCe

Mrse Allen said she read in the paper somewhere that exemption
may be claimed for a business car = and since no exemption is
being made on children now she thought you should put in all
repairs and upkeep on the Buicke

I had intended to look these up for you this afternoon = but
again time was too shorte
