P.P.F. 7. 5130 filed November 23, 1949 11/25/19 Dear lr. Donaldson: Please accept my congratulations and my x a hearty good wishes on the occasion of the DADE COUNTY ADVOCATE'S seventy-fifth anniversary.

The time will never come, I am sure, when people will not want to read the home- town paper with its intinate chronicle of the day by day doings of their friends and neighbors. The Advocate has a fine record of service belind it, and I am sure that under the guidance of you and your brother it will be an even better news- paper in the future. with my regards and best wishes, I an Very sincerely yours, Sgd) HARRY S. TRUMAN Mr. Herbert N. Donaldson, xs Editor, DADE COUNTY ADVOCATE, Greenfield, lissouri. # CGR:ma PPt 82
