In making up the Governor’s “Book of Memories” would it be proper for me to mention my part in this great effort to have the Park be given the land – and would you state the number of acres in question? Of course, I had some help from the other members of Congress and Senator Long in the Senate, but it was Senator Ellender who went to bat for me and it was I who went to Baton Rouge to inform Mr. Gibson that we needed to attack the problem immediately. Any letter that you might write, giving credit where credit is due, would add ignorantly to the “Book of Memories” which I shall prepare for our Governor and he, perhaps, does not know about it yet.
Please accept again my thanks of the entire Commission and especially mine because your consideration of the importance of our great endeavor made our task an easier one. If there is anyway [sic] I can return some of the kindnesses you have rendered unto me and our Commission, I would be glad to do so. Any booklets you have to spare will be appreciated and if you would tell me the price of your booklet on “The Battle of Gettysburg”, which I borrowed and must return, I shall be glad to purchase one.
If you ever get back to Louisiana and Mississippi, please do not forget to visit me here in Kentwood. With cordial greetings to you and your staff, I am
Sincerely yours,
[Signed]
Mrs. Clarence R. Letteer, Chairman
