THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 28, 1951 Dear Edgar: I appreciated very much your good letter of the twenty- sixth and I sincerely wish I could have been with you Monday night, as you suggested. Of course, that was not possible. I am glad John is getting along all right and that he likes his assignment. I know he will do a good job. I read the letter which you enclosed from the California man with a lot of interest. I don't think Aunt Ella was ever in Lamar and I don't suppose there is anybody alive now who could remember the incident to which he refers. I have a first cousin, Mrs. Grace Summer, who lives in Dallas. She might be able to remember something about it because she was there nearly the whole time that we lived in Lamar. She was about twelve years old when we left there - she went to Texas with her father and the rest of the family moved up to Cass County. She is the only one I can think of who would know anything about the matter to which the gentleman refers. I'll send her the letter which you sent me and find out whether she knows anything about it or not. Sincerely yours Honorable Edgar G. Hinde Independence Missouri
