JOHN EDGAR HOOVER DIRECTOR Federal Turrau of United States Department of Juntire * * * Wanhington, D. . September 27, 1948 P. P.F. 4180 The President The White House Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. President: I wanted you to know how deeply I appreciated the encourdging message that you sent me on the 20th. The fact that you took time out from what I know is a most hectic schedule is most gratifying. I am jeeling better each day and for once it appears I do not have any other choice but to follow the doctor's instructions. I am hopeful, however, I will not be confined too long as there are too many things to be done and I am anrious to return to the office as quickly as possible. Sincerely, # of 20 lyon Hoover x10-B
