My dear Mrs. Truman:
The attraction of the gulf as it appears on your card with
the little white schooners and the pleasure ships is certain-
ly most alluring and at this time of the year, I think per-
haps the pleasures to be had there would be paramount to
those in the Black Hills.
I should like, however, to take you to the Black Hills in
August. I should like you to see the national park which the
state of South Dakota has just presented and then should like
to call attention to the fact that Missouri has no national
park, not one acre.
I should like, however, to ask you and the rest of the loyal
bunch that have always been interested in the Community Wel-
fare League to join me in a still hunt and open fight for a
national park system for grand old Missouri. I should like
to have the headquarters for the said national park on the
top of Mount Lookout in Stone County and should like to have
it include the big dam at the waterfall and everything that
lies between including Marvel Cave and Fairy Cave as well
as the Crystal Cave and all the beauty spots which are in-
cluded in this particular county of Missouri. I think it would
be grand, don't you?
The springs of Hahatonka, which should have been used for the
water system of Kansas C ity and which would have given it
the distinction of having the most unique water supply of
any city in the United States, might be included in the state
park and I suppose the Sniders intended that it should be.
The national park should be the biggest beauty spot of the
Ozarks in my judgment.
