Mr. Dan Roenigk, Mayor
Morganville, Kansas

Dear Dan:

Well, the program is a good many weeks behind us and it lives in my memory as a very bright spot of the year. It really was very effective and I feel you should all be proud of the way the voices came through. I lunched with Lafe Todd and his wife the other day and told them that the Voice of America would rebroadcast the Morganville story on January 24. Lafe promptly sent word to Mr. Torlotting so that he could get people together to listen. I am sending a copy of the script for possible translation and I also sent him word as to how to tune in. The rebroadcast is every Thursday at 5:30 a.m. to the Orient and 12:30 p.m. to Europe.

I hope to be able to send you a digest of some of the reactions of people to the Morganville show. We continue to pick up new stations, which is a further good sign.

With best wishes to you and your wife, Velma, and all the others, and with anticipation of dropping in on you again sometime, I am

Very gratefully,
