THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON January 24, 1949 Dear Edgar: I appreciated very much yours of the twenty- first. I was certainly sorry you weren't here. My Battery "D" boys behaved wonderfully well. In fact they surprised themselves, I think. I had a fine breakfast with them and they pre- sented me with a gold-headed cane, which is a practical one because it isn't a round head but a hook, as a cane ought to have. I shall use it every morning when I walk. I rather think maybe Margaret would make a good Ambassador but she wants to be a singer so I don't suppose I'll have any chance to appoint her. I hope to see you sometime before many seasons pass. Sincerely yours, Honorable Edgar G. Hinde Postmaster United States Post Office Independence, Missouri
