Dear Ruby:

Get ready for Texas -- for here you come! Should we send you a western horse so you'll be in practice before you arrive!

We have just sent your documents to Washington requesting your educational leave to be granted as soon as the report from the FBI is received and you have been reviewed by the War Department. This last requirement is now necessary for all students who have spent anytime in Japan.

We hope very much that your permit will arrive around the fifteenth but we have no way of knowing. Perhaps if you feel it is urgent enough you might have someone at your Project wire Washington asking for immediate clearance through the FBI and the War Department.

You will be interested to meet the students who are going to Texas with you and we are particularly pleased that you will be one of them for you have had such bad luck in waiting for the University of Colorado all last fall. Gradually all the students accepted there are getting to other colleges, the University of Nebraska, Washington University, University of Idaho, etc.

Goodluck to you, Ruby -- and let us know when you do get to Texas.

Cordially yours,

TRUDY KING
Permit Department
