Mr. Elmer B. 5taata,,
Dear Eimer:
This letter is to bring you Christmas and
New Year's greetings, and hope that despite the fact
that we will not be meeting at OCB, we will still see
much of each other during the coming year.
Also, congratulations to you as a huntsman.
Tho only report that I have on this is from the POST
of December 5, but I assume the story is authentic.
Certainly the beautiful photograph of you and the bear
seem to be the "real McCoy". I think we really should
sand this picture to Khrushchev and add you as an honorary
member of our team of psychological warriors to deal
with the Big Bad Bear which personifies the Soviet.
Faithfully,
AWD/ ji
