THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON April 17, 1952 Dear Heinie: I appreciated your letter of the fourteenth very much. I am certainly glad that the property in connection with the new Post Office site has been obtained but I fear very much that there will be no chance of an appropria- tion for a building at this time. I've refused to make any new starts in any state on buildings, rivers and harbors, or roads and I can't very well start in my home town. I'll be in a position, after this thing is over, to get some things done that I can't do now for my home people. Get the site matter all settled and the first thing you know we will have the building there we want. You tell the Harpies they had better begin to sharpen their knives because after January twentieth I am not going to be easy on them. Sincerely yours, Harry. Honorable Edgar G. Hinde Postmaster Independence, Missouri
