My dear beloved Noble and President:
You received a communication dated Seattle, May 21st, from me relat-
ive to my daughter, Mrs. Anna Kingsbury and her husband in reference
to an application made for a loan on their property through the Home
Owners' Loan Corporation of Washington, the residence which is located
at 8021 Kingston Avenue, Chicago.
They received a letter from your office requesting the Home Owners
Loan Corporation to make a further investigation of the property here-
in mentioned. My daughter said that a loan has been granted, either
through your personal interest or direct from the Home Owners' Loan
Corporation. So, therefore, it relieved them of this very serious anx-
iety and I take this opportunity to thank you for your personal inter-
est in Mr. & Mrs. Kingsbury.
Our prayers will ever be with you and your loving mother and dear wife,
continuously, forever. We wish you a happy journey in your itinerary
as specified in your coming trip through the Panama Canal and the
Hawaiian Islands and when you return the people of Seattle surely will
give you a loyal and affectionate reception, and especially the Shrine.
Our beloved secretary, Frank Lazer of Nile Temple, wishes to ever be
at any personall service that may be called upon.
I am enclosing to you a little emblem that was discovered and picked
up in the battle fields of France. It may amuse you; if not, the
children will certainly be amused by it.
The American people believe in you and in your ideals for they are
really human. May the Lord ever protect you and guide you in your
relations to the suffering humanity. Your speeches over the radio
have an honest appeal to all the loving citizens of this gracious
Republic.
I might add that I hope I may be influential in any way to help and

With my sincere good wishes for a safe journey and a welcome reception
to your coming itinerary, I am

he would be personally deeply grateful for such acceptance. -- Under date

the President for his courtesy in writing and sending the medal. -- There
is attached a confidential report of Post Office Inspector in Charge, C.B.

It appears from the report that Dr. von Hagen is not all he represents him-
