Mr. Calvin £>. v>mith, Jr.,
140 6. 4th St. Apt. k-b,
Richmond, California.
Dear Mr. Smith:
I wish to thank you most sincerely for the
kindly expression in your letter of December 1, 1947
which' I have been unable to acknowledge at an earlier
date because of the necessity of almost daily appear­
ances at Congressional committees.
You may not have seen my second statement
before the Joint Committee on the Economic Report on
Wednesday, December 10, 1947* and I therefore take the
liberty of enclosing a copy for your further information.
Very sincerely yours,

Enclosure
