- 4814 - Handed to Col. Marlin 4/3/46, elb April 2, 1946 Dear Justice Jackson: I appreciated very much your letter of March twenty-fifth, which I just received along with enclosed correspondence with the Chief Justice. I think you have arrived at the right decision. It is vitally important now particularly that this program, on which you are working, be brought to a successful conclusion, no matter how long it takes and, while I regret exceedingly that it is necessary for you to be away from the Court so long, I don't think it would be in the public interest now to break the continuity of your program. I think you have done a remarkable Job and I know you want to see it to a conclusion. The arrangements which you have made with the Chief Justice, I think, are entiroly satisfactory to all concerned. Best of luck to you and rive them everything that is coning to then. I would appreciate it very much if you would elaborate a little bit in your next letter on Mr. Biddle. Sincerely yours, HARRY S.
