Mr. Earle W. Newton
P. O. Box 484
St. Augustine, Florida

Dear Earle:

Thanks very much for your letter of April 12. I regret that
I am not going to get to the meeting on April 23 because I will
be in the Virgin Islands with our new Superintendent for the
whole week. I will await the results of your meeting with
Director Wirth and others with great interest and especially
the progress you may be able to make in solving the question
of using the present Post Office Building. At least the report
from Congressman Matthews sounds more encouraging than I had
expected.

Since our meeting in St. Augustine, we have been working to
adjust our own program in order to phase our jobs with other
plans of the Commission.

From your report, your trip to Spain was quite successful.

Sorry I will not be able to join you next week.

Sincerely yours,




Elbert Cox
Regional Director
