THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
November 8, 1947
Dear Edgar:
I was sure you would understand the situation
in regard to Mr. Connell.
I was glad to hear about the bond situation and
I just wonder how it will work out. Unless they
have somebody who knows what dollars are for
to oversee the expenditures they will be in a
lot of trouble. You remember how we worked
the other one out by using a very close relative
of yours to do it.
Maybe Alf Landon would like to be Senator -
what do you think ?
Sincerely yours,
Honorable Edgar G. Hinde
United States Post Office
Independence, Missouri
