THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
October 10, 1946
Dear Edgar:
I am enclosing you a clipping from the
Independence paper which I just ran
across.
It looks to me like my candidate for
Postmaster in Independence is in some
trouble and it wouldn't surprise me at
all if one Edgar Hinde didn't have a
hand in it, by letting him fall asleep
on the railroad track with the idea of
getting his head cut off.
Sincerely yours
Honorable Edgar G. Hinde
Postmaster
Independence, Missouri
Yor'd letter have a good defense!
