Dear Mr. Howe:
I understand that the BURLINGTON FREE PRESS is
celebrating its 125th anniversary on June seventh. I further
understand that the FREE PRESS has served Vermont well, keeping
its Green Mountain readers well-informed not only on local but
on national and international affairs. That is good. An in-
formed ci tizenry is essential if our country is to continue
strong and healthy.
I have, as you know, a personal interest in Burlington
244
and in Vermont through my Secretary, Bill Hassett of Northfield,
who worked on your paper some years ago. He has just about
PP45488
convinced me that Vermont is one of the most beautiful states in
the Union. I hope to visit it some day to see for myself.
Ris
Bill is the most wonderful Yankee I know - one of the
finest people there is. During his years of distinguished service
in Washington as a newspaperman and here in the White House he
has been a credit to your paper and your state.
Very sincerely yours,
(Sgd) HARRY S. TRUMAD
Mr. David W. Howe,
THE BURLINGTON FREE PRESS,
Burlington,
Vermont.
