Dear Mr. Shakely:

      In response to your recent letter, please be advised that there are no public health laws or regulations in West Viginia which require customers in shops, markets, or restaurants to have on footwear.

      If I may be of further assistance to your research project, please let me know.

  Sincerely,

Joan E. Ohl
