Joseph Welch Supt. (Bureau) Education Austin - Texas Dear Bro. The pressure of other duties prevents an immediate reply to your favor of Aug 18 & I have since thought I might see you here - be it for fear you are not coming I write. No! I do not care to change the plan of your paying for the Bureau all there in Texas. I was just pursuing the general rule not fully aware that your case was an exception.
