HARRY S. TRUMAN MISSOURI United States Senate WASHINGTON, D.C. January 8, 1935 Mr. Edgar C. Hinde 1500 West Lexington Independence, Missouri Dear Edgar: I fooled you - this is not the appointment. I called the Post Office Department and they have asked for the resignation of the present postmaster, and if it is not received in about ten days he will be kicked out. When this kicking is done, you will receive the appointment. I am not wasting any money on you by sending a wire when a three-cent stamp will do just as good. Just sit as steady in the boat as you can, and if it takes six years we will make you postmaster of Independence. Sincerely, HST:ML Harry S. Truman
