Dear Cary
I have had a nice letter from William and am glad he enjoyed the trip even if there was no fishing. I want him and Steve to come down later for some lake fishing when the bass begin to bite. Will let you know when fishing really begins.
You do not know how I regret we got no blue fishing. A number of men have been going down to Oregon Inlet all along and none of them have had any success. The tremendous rains and winds from the ocean are supposed to have kept them out of the inlet, though occasionally there was some surf fishing from the shore. Will you please tell Mr. Early this and ask him if he will not come down with you for some lake fishing when they begin to bite. I really want you both to come and to bring the boys with you as we have lots of room.
The Red Cross office called me up and asked me to please write you to come here and have something to say at their meeting. I do hope that you will arrange to do so and if it is in June you can make it a combination business and pleasure trip.
Colgate Darden told me he had discussed with you my plans about Washington and we are all in accord as to the wisdom of getting any permanent position there. I am, however, deeply interested in an appointment on some special case if that can be arranged. There is under consideration some very important work here of a permanent nature and it looks like it is going to work out all right. At the same time some out of state or public recognition of me as a lawyer would practically cinch this matter as the people in question are quite close to the Administration. If you can take this up with the President at some favorable opportunity it will fit in exactly with my plans. As a matter of fact I would rather appear in one important case than for any regular position to be oppffered me at any salary.
I am leaving for court and you will pardon a rather hastily dictated letter but want to get it off to you this morning.
With warm regards, I remain,
Sincerely,
J S Barron.
