Dear Doc:

I am glad to know that Burt DeGroot has received the
appointment on your staff for next year. I am sure you
will find him a very helpful addition. He is young, vig-
orous, and very sound in his thinking. I rather imagine
that the neutral report which came from the Islands is due
to the fact that they had expected him to remain there for
three years; he had just finished his second term.

Burt will undoubtedly stop here on his way to Kansas
and I shall plan to pass on to him any helpful information
concerning his new job. It is possible that I can make
gome comments concerning the organization there which you
in your position might not feel justified in making.

With best wishes, I am

Very cordially yours,
