Hinde Postmaster Independence, Missouri Dear Edgar: Appreciate most highly your good letter of April Twelfth, and I am certainly happy to have your views on things as they are taking place at home. They certainly are making it most difficult for those of us who really want to do what's right. I am of the opinion, however, that things will work out to the advantage of all of us, for I just can't believe that there is any foundation in fact for what is going on in the Federal Court. I give Pendergast credit for too much sense to do anything of the kind. As you know, I spent more money in Jackson County than the Governor has spent in the State of Missouri, and Pendergast never even made a hint to me about doing anything wrong. In fact, he always advised me, when I talked to him, to do it the right way, and as you know, that is the way it was done. I wish I could see you and talk with you about the situation. Sincerely yours, in with Harry S. Truman bloomy HST/cb
