THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 28, 1949 Dear Edgar: I appreciated very much your letter of the twenty-fifth - in regard to the Post Office building in Independence. I had hoped that the half block West of the present site of the Post Office might be obtained and an extension built on to the present building to take care of the situation but somebody informed me that that lot had been disposed of to a speculator and that there wasn't any chance of getting it. I think in all probability a new and separate building will be built and I hope, when it is finished, that it will be to your entire satisfaction. Sincerely yours, Honorable Edgar G. Hinde Postmaster United States Post Office Independence, Missouri
