Today you told me of your visit if 'V I 5: to the office of Assistant Superintendent Port- , fff gf -tt' wood. That must have been inspirational for 7 ff vm your staff to have been received so graciously f it x it G by him and for you to have had his approval A SAVI of your plans to portray, in your Monticello, lefferson's part in the Schools at War program, of which he is the director. lt was wonderful of Superintendent Stutsman to invite you into his office that day and to say such lovely things to you about the kind of citizens and school patrons he hopes you will be some day. You simply must live up to his faith in you. f f f f That visit of yours reminds me very strongly of the visit of our 1943 Staff to the office of General Krueger two years ago. That dayl had the premonition that l was in the presence of a very great man. Sure enough, very, very soon after that visit General Krueger began his great work in the Pacific! And now here l am, part of that great ge.neral's army in the Philippines, over here with the big guns pounding, the big bombs falling, and the enemy running faster and faster and farther and farther back toward his rising sun. On that day in the General's office how could I have known that I would some day be a part of his plan to help the great MacArthur return to the Philippines. l'm proud of the part l'm play- g ing f f f You'll hardly be a part of the war K it because l think, like the great Churchill- Victory lies before us - certain and perhaps near, but you will be a very important cog in the peace. Play well your part, loe and ludy, not only in your splendid war work now but also later in the glorious and happy days of peace. f ' ' The bombers have come up and the fighters scream against the surf-beat of the guns. l'm over here where there's still a war to be won, but l may be home sooner than anyone dreams.
