STAT and to his application for a job -- which I believe is being processed.
II speaks perfect Spanish, has lived abroad many years (always with
his feet on the ground) and has a most attractive personality. Ills wife
is also most charming. The comilany he represented here had to close
their office due to Chilean inport restrictions. During the latter da s
STAT of the war I recommended for the post as Secretary to the
T I am told that
his performance in this capacity was highly sa is ac ory. At any rate
the record will showl I hope you will have time to see him when he calls.
This visit has b ion most delightful and interesting. We ;iave
spent most of our time shooting and fishing and recovering from that
da:iage3 operation of nearly three years ago. I still get a bit dizzy
when I climb stairs but the rest cure is doing a lot of good.
I hope you are enjoying the very interesting and important
job. T know you are doing it wvellI l
;7ith best regards--
Sincerely,
