A letter written to Mr. Carswell, from R. D. Hill, Casa Grande Lodge, Albuquerque, New Mexico, dated July 4, 1950. Hill outlines his business travel itinerary and monologues on politics venturing the guess that 'barring the effects of the Korean situation' that much of his business will be accomplished within the next six months. He advises that Mr. Sproul has been testing bottling coffee for distribution under the name of ICEKOFA. Hill advises of the potential need for a stockpile of metals when "things get moving" and politically philosophizes "Were F. D. R. still alive he would be forced to admit having been a dam-fool or heluvaliar?" He then notes that it is also of interest that the people of this country are experiencing GREAT prosperity yet according to the news every person is "on the cuff" for $1,704.50. Handwritten postscript at top left of page is an apology for the lack of time to "write at length".
