I have to use my left hand and it won’t do what I want it to. Just want to thank you for your letter and to say I hope you ddn’t spell Lincoln’s name over the radio as you did in your not to me. It is Macveagh. Do you see in “Time” that it had been recommended that Griswold be removed and all authority be places in the hands of the one man eg. Lincoln? Quite a triumph for him.
