August 13, 1947 Dear Vivian: I received your letter and the copies of the telegrams exchanged between the Department of Agriculture and Ferd Owen. I have turned the matter over to Matt and asked him to follow it to its conclusion. I ordered Trigg to be fired if it was found that he had been blocking the situation for an ulterior motive, He swears that he hasn't been doing anything of the kind - of course, I don't know. We are still looking into it. I don't want you to get mixed up in this situation in any way financially because if you do we would never hear the last of it. I am enclosing you a letter from Emile Martin to Miss Conway. If you can find a job for him it would be all right because he was in the Regiment. I don't think he is a bad fellow. His mother was a French woman and he speaks French as well as English very well, Sincerely, Harry RECORDM eluvr aware olez 881 FZ9
