THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 7, 1949 Dear Hinie: Replying to yours of the second, tell Edgar I received his letter and appreciated it. I've written Roger and told him I'm not interested in memorials to me - in fact I think it is bad to erect a memorial to a live man because you might want to tear it down sometime - you never can tell how he will turn out. In regard to a Commemorative Stamp, I've been doing my best to put a stop to these stamps - it has almost gotten to be a racket. In fact, if we would issue all those requested we would issue one every day. Sincerely yours, Honorable Edgar G. Hinde Postmaster United States Post Office Independence, Missouri
