THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 12, 1949
Dear Hinie:
I appreciated very much your letter of the
eighth.
The milestones pile up quickly after you
pass twenty-one but it is a long time until
I get my release. However, I suppose it
will roll by more quickly than we think.
I wish I could have been at the Harpie Club
to pass on the cooking of Mr. Dexter Perry.
I imagine he did a pretty good job.
Sincerely yours,
Harry
Honorable Edgar G. Hinde
Postmaster
United States Post Office
Independence, Missouri
glad Edgar was fixed up. life is
a good toy.
