BURKE, NEBR. June 9, 1939 HERBERT E. HITCHCOCK, S. DAK. THEODORE F. GREEN, R. 1. KENNEDY F. REA, CLERK JOHN W. R. SMITH, ASST. CLERK Honorable Edgar G. Hinde Independence, Missouri Dear Edgar: I wrote Lester a letter respecting the Chief, and also sent him a telegram. Hope it has the desired effect. As you know, Les is in a terrible lot of hot water, and also you know that the people who are supposed to work with him are in the same THE position that it was customary to say that a former to mesa SAMPLE Presiding Judge was in. Just read your letter which came this morning, and it fits right in with what I tried to say to you, that the present County Court doesn't know what to do and doesn't know how to find out what to do. Mr. Long never did know what it was all about, and I don't suppose he ever will. I think eventually we will get the whole situation worked out so that it will be entirely satisfact- cry. I am certainly happy that you and Eddie and Alex have gotten me all fixed up. I am going to hold you to it. Sincerely yours, Harry S. Truman Hey HST/cb
