Several publicity items and short bios of Schulte. Several letters from the Veterans Administration in Hines, Ill re: Schulte's claims. One signed letter, 1936, from Kent Keller notifying Schulte that the Bill for "immediate payment of Adjusted Service is now law." Sixteen letters from congressman giving response to Schulte's letters. Many are short form responses. Some give their views such as Arthur Capper of Kansas who states he is not sure he can support the kind of legislation Schulte is in favor of and William Lemke of N.

Letter, 1936, from James Farley, President of the Democratic National Committee, suggesting that Schulte could be a speaker for the party and sends a questionnaire for him to fill out.
