Yery truly yours,
STATOTHR
Dear Zd;
11 February 1949
31.1
STATOTHR
On receipt of your letter concernin
I made a few inquiries through the proper people. This is one of the
unfortunate cases that rise to plague us from time to time. She made
her application at the worst possible time because we were then in the
middle of a log jam due to the Impossibility of completing investigations
while the enormous burden of the Presidentee Loyalty Program was occupying
the full time of the investigative agencies. We are just now getting
our heads above water, and, of course, there were many priority re nests
that were nut ahead of the routine applications,
case is still active, and we have no excuse
for the ac aM she has not received the routine acknowledgements that
are normally sent out every nonth or two. They would not have told her
anything, but, at least they give assurance of ?pro- er consideration.
Would you. intercede for us and ask for a little more patience as I under-
stand that the final answer should come along in about a montht of course,
I have no way of knowing what the final answer will be.
Thanks for your interest in the case and never hesitate to call
on me as we are all interested to know when we have "muff ed" one so we ca
correct the situation as soon as possible.
Best regards to Nancy, and if we can ever find time to make our
trips to or from Charlottesville more leisurely, we will stop by to call.
