Damon St. Louis-San Francisco Railway Company Law Department 906 Olive Street St. Louis 1, Missouri Dear Mr. Damon: In regard to a Naval Acadenty appointment for Edward M. Harrington, Jr., about which you recently wrote the Vice President. The Vice President directed me to assure you that this boy will get every consideration when our next vacancy occurs. As you may know the Vice President has the same number of appointments to West Point and Annapolis as a Senator has. While we can never tell when an emergency vacancy will occur, at present all spots are filled and we have no routine appointment for another two years. Sincerely yours, Harry H. Vaughan Colonel Military Aide to the Vice President 3 ADDRESS HHV/ly us
