Dear Colonel Albright: 

24 llaJ 1945 

Thank 7ou verr much tor the exeept1onall7 nice 

photograph 7ou sent me and tor the autograph hereon. I 

am ver7 happ7 to add it to DJ1 collection and hope that 

some day vhen JOU have occasion to come to Washington 7ou will atop in to aee it 1n the galler7. I think you mar well take pride in the tact that JOU are the real 

father of the Signal Intelligence Service. It is untortu~ 

nate that I cannot tell 7ou how and VbJ' it baa reached the 

stature it ha.a in th1a var. I note vbat JOU aa7 about 7our 

daughter being with JOU and I am wondering whether she 

would be 1ntereated 1n joining the atatt 1n aome capacit7 

or other it ahe deairea to do eome var work. I think that 

thia could be arranged and if 7ou vill let me know I can 

send her an application torm. She might like to do something in Washington. I vill look up Jlr. Dean•a daughter at 

an earl,- opportunity and see if there 11 anJth1ng I can do 

tor her. 

You aak about the Signal Corps aold1er who was at the 

Prea1d1o. I think tbat vhole experience vaa quite unfortunate ao tar aa thia man vaa concerned becauee vhatever 

ausp1c1on there vaa it vaa all 1n the mind of one chap vho 

had no warrant therefor. The aoldier'• name was, aa you remember, Alt Monge. I loat track of him until the summer 

ot 1943 vhen I ran into him 1n th• Embaaa7 in London where 

he vaa a Warrant Ott1cer in the administrative headquartera 

ot our m.111tar,- attache. He never got a chance to get back 

into orn>tographic work because ot th&t blemish on b1a career 

which, as I 1a7, waa unvarranted, but he seemed to be h&PP7 

1n vb.at he vaa doing. 

Please give lllJ" very beat greeting• to both Mra. Albright and to,your daughter. Thank you again tor 7our courteaJ. 

'- W1 th ~eat regards, I am 

S1ncerel7 7ours,
