THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 13, 1947 Dear Edgar: I certainly appreciated your sending me the first machine stamped letter to go through the Independence Post Office. I'll be most happy when we reach that stage of button pushing that you refer to. That situation has not yet arrived anywhere near my own office - I still work from daylight to dark and half the night in order to keep ahead of the hounds. This is the first time I haven't had a chance to come home in I don't know when. I never had such a busy time. Remember me to all the gang. Sincerely/yours, Honorable Edgar G. Hinde thing Postmaster Independence, Missouri
