July 8, 1947 P.P.F. 450 My dear Corporal Barlow: The President has received your let- ter of recent date and has asked me to thank you for your kindness in writing to him about those interesting old papers which you have in your possession. I want to explain, however, that the President is so extremely busy these # days we are very much afraid that he will not have an opportunity to look at them. I am, therefore, returning the papers to you herewith. It is suggested that you may wish to communicate with the Library of Congress. I have pleasure in advising you that General MacArthur's address is: Commander in Chief, Far East Command, A.P.O. 500, c/o Post- master, San Francisco, California. Very sincerely yours, x584 MATTHEW J. CONNELLY Secretary to the President Corporal Mervin W. Barlow, Bks. 1314 U.S.M.C., X M. C. Supply Depot, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
