In accordance with your request, I have forwarded to him an application blank, together with information regarding the positions in the Division of Investigation.

I am sorry that I did not have the opportunity to talk with you upon the occasion of your visit to the Department, but hope that you will be able to pay me a visit in the near future. Your comments regarding the publicity given the work of the Division in the Nationalist are appreciated, as well as your congratulations on the work of the Division in the Lindbergh case.” In fine condition, with two old rusty paperclip impressions.
