Dear Ben:

One of the nicest human beings on the Social Security Board is Mr. George E. Bigge. He is a little conservative and likes the pictures Mama likes to paint but he is a potene [[potent]] factor in the situation and I enclose a copy of a letter I received from him in reference to the murals which I know you will seriously consider.

Hope all goes well with you. Isn’t it grand that the Carville water color show is such a success. I am going to push it all I can. 

Very sincerely yours, 

Edward Bruce
