their lives.

Letter From Former
Freestone County Friend
U. S. Marine Hospital
Galveston, Texas.
Nov. 23, 1943.
Mr. Lee Kirgan,
I am enclosing a clipping from
the Houston Post editorial page is-
sued Sunday, Nov. 22, wherein he
comments about Lee Kirgan. Quite
a few years ago when I was in an-
other government hospital, I read an
article written by Sadie , your
daughter. This article was on the
editorial page of the Dallas News.
Mr. Kirgan, if you are no good,
you possess those “supernatural”
powers that make people believe you
are good. I really do enjoy reading
your writings.
I am a meat inspector for the
meat inspection force in Houston,
but I am down here for a physical
examination. After this examination
has been completed I will go to El
Paso, as meat inspector there. We
are now a part of the Food Adminis-
tration instead of the U. S. Dept, of
Agriculture.
Sincere good wishes to you and
family and all my other friends in
and near Fairfield.
Very truly,
JESSE HARDIE, SR.
