Dear Clint: |

It doesn't seem fifteen days since you wrote me a letter
from Quantice, but that is the fact. I had a call from your dad
regarding one of the athletes in Kansas City, Churchill by name,
and I teld him of sourse I would help him in every pessible way.
Your dad never leses a ee

everyone to possess.

I like the style of your letter. You weren't asking for
| 3, but you were willing to give a good stiff fight for a
commission and I am sure that you will land one. Here's wishing
you all kinds of suecess, and if at any time I can help you please
do not fail to call upon me. I will respend immediately and with
due ferce and emphasis in your behalf.

I see that you have been in Washington several times, and
I know how you enjoy that wonderful city. I never tire of going
out te the Linceln Monument and walking up the steps to be stimu-
lated to an unusual degree by the wonderful masterpiece of Daniel
Chester French. It seems to mo as if that sad face of Lincoln
actually speaks to yous

It ia a wonderful eppartantty Wo visit Washington, ant Z
imagine that during the stress of war Washington is more than a
bechive. It is a hernet’s nest. And may it prove te be to the
slit-eyes, the squareheads, and the spaghetti-boenders.

them on October 15th.

Please write me and let me know if you will do this
