Dear Bill:
I was greatly intrigued by the letter of
June 23, and I shall send a copy on to who is one
of my oldest and closest friends.
I note that you are off already for a cruise of the Medi?
terranean. I greatly envy you. I had a good cruise a couple of
years ago of the Aegean and enjoyed it immensely.
Good luck to you on your visa application. Possibly if it
doesn't came now, it will come in the not too distant future.
Sincerely,
Allen W. Dulles
Director
