Dear George:

Iwas delighted to have you letter dated Mareh 17th
from “somewhere in India".

This gambling situation is quite a ovihien, but I believe
Wwe stirred the lions up enough to panne them best * es shout it.

Mre. Hulteen told me eek her hamiue: mt 2. ‘heartily oon~
our in the necessity of doing such a thing when it is considered that two
young lives are very important treasures to protect by proper teaching.
It is going to take some mighty good teaching on the part of the oldsters
to bring up the youngsters so that the world wAss be suave enough w live
in, in the next two generations.

I think you have done a swell job where you are, and I am
sure that when things return te normaley and you ure back as one of ‘the
citizens of Lawrence, you will have a much greater delight knowing all
the disturbances that you have faced in the past three years. It will
be good to see you dow at the Post Office again, as I imagine that is
where you will expect to return. And another thing, swe - you are
assured of a good job upon your return. I imagine your foreign service
will mean not only a nice increase but an added something thet will cause
you to walk more proudly dom ae a ever

Thanks for your compliments regarding my work here in
Lawrence. If I can do anything to make the return of the veterans more
seoure end more happy, it will give me a lift.

FT ean tell vein india Gink yall Winks waee ones get anyone
to fill Mrs. Huiteen's position, but we kmew that. We have known that
for a long time. But this job is not the most important thing in the
scheme of your living. We will carry on, because we always have done |
that heretofore, but I am very sure that it would have been a very, very
diffioult thing during the strenuous war years had your good wife not
been with us. I have told her that a number of times and I am sure by
now she begins to believe it. We will miss her sorely, and it may take
two er three to fill her place, but we will get the job done.

: Another thanks fer the kind words regarding the basketball
team. They were a swell bunch of boys and they fought their heads off.
