Mr. W. 1C. Hawkins, Manager, Atlanta, Ga.
DearBir: Answering inquiries in yours of the 8th inst., in
regard to my policies in the Aetna Life Insurance Go., I take
great pleasure in advising yon as follows:
Policy No. for *5,000 was written on my life and de
livered to me May 27, IN07, on the 10 payment plan. All pay
ments of premiums were made promptly, as I have had no pay
ments lo make on same since IS70, and it lias always been a
matter of great regret to me that I did not have it written for
*20,000 instead of *5,000. Hi nee it was all paid up, I have re
ceived regular yearly dividends, varying in amount, lint always
very satisfactory. It lias proven to me a very line investment.
The later policies Nos. 2H7,170-1 were issued rtopt. I, 1000, for
*5,000 each, have been very satisfactory, and have returned to
me very satisfactory dividends. I think quite highly of them,
and the very liberal treatment I have always enjoyed at the
hands of the Aetna Life, for which company I wish a long life
and prosperous career. I am, with much respect,
Yours very truly,
Thornton Wheatly.
