10 June 46.
Dear Mr. President:
Today's paper carries the announce-
ment that you will not be able to visit the Philippines;
this is greatly to be regretted, as are the unfortunate
circumstances that prevent your presence.
Since you saw fit to name me as a mem-
ber of your Special Mission in 1945, I do not feel that
I am presumptious in expressing the hope that you will
choose Gen. MacArthur to be the official representative
of this country. It is my opinion that his nomination
would best serve our future interests in The Philippines,
the Far East and be most favorably received here at
home. His record; his ability and experience and, above
all, his loyalty to you make him "Superior" in every
respect.
A few days ago, while filing some
records, I had occasion to review my own report on the
Special Mission; nobody ever read it but in comparing
(events) k with subsequent I found little to add and nothing to
subtract; in fact I felt pretty good about it.
As soon as I got back on the farm
I broke out the old typewriter; it is nearly as old
as I am; has lain idle for rising six years and will
not be used too much in the future.
Ra and I hope that you and your
family, including your mother and sister, are well
and as happy as is to be expected under present cir-
cumstances.
Yours respectfully,
Drank
FRANK E. LOVE,
Maj. General, U. S. Army.
Hon. Harry S. Truman,
President of The United States of America.
