Hinde Postmaster Independence, Missouri Dear Heinie: Appreciate very much your good letter of the Twenty Second, and I have read it two or three times. I think you have the situation properly diagnosed. Some of us have been unmercifully sold down the river, but that does not help the situation one little bit so far as we are concerned. When I come home I am going to get three or four of our good fellows together and discuss the whole situ- ation. I just received a letter from Perry in which he said you told him something to say to me, but he couldn't put the words in writing. Well, here they are right back at you. Sincerely, HST:MLD Harry S. Truman they
