My dear General=
Shortly after the outbreak of the Korean situation, General
Gruenther, now with General Eisenhower, informed me that I was
made available to the Central Intelligenc'e~Agency for duty and
some correspondence with the Agency ensued. This morning I re-
ceived a letter from General Boling, in answer to my inquiry,
and in the letter he stated that he thought my services might be
utilized by the Security Agency. I am presumin
that he i
g
s re-
ferring to the Central Intelligence Agency. I hope that I am not
imposing unduly by asking you if there is anything to the suggestions
made by General Boling and my friend, Al Gruenther.
Via the grapevine I have heard that you have not been too well
lately. The newspapers even carried items that you hoped to com-
plete the reorganization of the Agency and then retire.
Have you ever given any thought to Colorado as an ideal spot
for both hunting and fishing? I know that you are fond of both
and, having lived in Colorado for two years, I know that the climate
is very invigorating. Also, ranches can be bought very reasonably,
chiefly in areas of good hunting and good fishing. You may have
gotten a bit of the invigorating effect of the climate the short
time you were there in 1949.
I hope that you have recovered completely and can enjoy fully
your retirement. In my book you have earned it. Thank you for your
kind consideration.
