Dear Mr. Burke:
I was very pleased to have your note of
February 7 with reference to my reappointment
which still has to run tne gamut of the benate,
but I was distressed that you have been ill and
trust that you are now entirely recovered.
I have always felt grateful to you for continuing your service in the bystem as long as you
did and, as you know, greatly regretted that you
felt it necessary to discontinue it. I hope I may
have the opportunity of seeing you, nevertheless,
whenever you may have occasion to be in Washington
or I to go to Cleveland.

bincerely yours,

Mr. Edmund S. Jtfurke, Jr.,
Union Commerce building,
Cleveland, Ohio.
