THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON December 30, 1952 Dear Hinie: I think the signature on that change of address order is a forgery. Nevertheless the change of address will take place. On the twenty-first - of January it will be correct as 219 North Delaware Street, Independence, Missouri, or the Court House, Kansas City, Missouri, or the Federal Reserve Bank Building, Kansas City, Missouri. I will have three addres- ses. I hope you had a nice Christmas and that the Post Office doesn't run away with you after I leave the White House or that you don't run away with the Post Office. I don't know which way to put it. Sincerely yours, Tell the Harpiest sharpen Hony Honorable Edgar G. Hinde their thises! Postmaster Independence, Missouri
