In accordance with your request, I have forwarded to him an application blank, together with information regarding the positions in the Division of Investigation. When Mr. Matthews’ application is received, you may be assured that I will give it my personal attention in connection with the filling of any vacancies that arise to which one with his training and experience might be appointed and that I shall keep in mind your interest in him.

Your comments regarding the publicity given the work of the Division in the Nationalist are appreciated, as well as your congratulations on the work of the Division in the Lindbergh case.” In fine condition, with two old rusty paperclip impressions.
