THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
November 17, 1952
Dear Hinie:
I appreciated your good letter of the tenth with
the enclosures. It certainly is in line with a
great many others I've received. I don't think
the people have been entirely fooled. I am glad
you didn't miss the election guess by more than
three hundred and two votes. You didn't have
anything on me - I missed it by the same amount.
You tell the Harpies to get their knives sharpened
because they are going to need them.
Sincerely yours,
Harry.
Honorable Edgar G. Hinde
Postmaster
Independence, Missouri
