THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 7, 1946
Dear Edgar:
I appreciated your note of April twenty-fourth
very much and, as you say, I am having plenty
of troubles on this sixty-second birthday of
mine, but they are hardly enough to get me down -
most of them are inherited and have to be met
as conditions come along.
I don't think this country is ready to fold up
yet and as Churchill said about Great Britain -
I am not going to do any of the folding.
Wish I could spend a few days at home and
associate with some of the boys as in days
gone by, but it looks as if that is only a
wish and will not materialize very soon.
Remember me to all of them and tell them they
had better whet up their knives because, when
I do get home, they are going to need them.
Sincerely yours,
Honorable Edgar G. Hinde
