your interest in writing me about Vance Hall. I
know about this young man and I am putting his name

which is usually sometime around the latter part of
May.

In the meantime, it might be well for Vance to
drop in at the office and talk to Wes Roberts, my
secretary, so that they could work out the details.

I, too, have been sorry that the press of legis-
lative and state matters have made it impossible for
us to see each other more often. We have enjoyed
the games very much this winter.

party and I sincerely hope it will be possible for
us to attend. We would enjoy the get-to-gether
very much. It seems there are so many demands on
a governor's time that he very rarely gets to do the
things he would like to.

With very best wishes and hoping you will stop
in whenever you are up this way, I am
