Lockhart relates that since the pension fund is exhausted, he has been acquiring funds from the State Highway Investment Fund to pay pensioners. Writes "This fund is also exhausted, but as the Christmas holidays are nearing and I am desirous of assisting you in getting the cash on your hands in time to add a little sunshine to your Christmas cheer, I have asked that an additional amount be invested in your December warrants."

Lockhart was treasurer of Texas 1931-1941.
