Dear Col Pomeroy

hospital.

liason very week. del V/ writes there is a life of Ike
privately printed, BUT Dave has never heard of it. I want it.

Dave of course busy, IF you can ascertain where Obtainable
the private Ike, can you phone to G.Giovannini

4543 S.Dakota Av. N.E.

who wd/ presumably do the leg work and get it posted to me.

books very slow to arrive.

Fuller sent me his Alexander, but so far as I can see no mention
of most interesting item, i.e. that A;ex paid the debts of his
soldiers /

a grave omission, or indication of what can get into
print in W.C's his closet england.

Dave dont seem to have enough help, Sullivan having faded.
I dont know how much talent he has for mobilizing the young.
There was a kid, somewhat despised, but not an idiot, with
the curious patronymic of GG Lady,

( L. Lady,
108 Sheridan Av. Tacoma Park
108 108

prenom Lee, no connection any other Lees OF or in Va. aryan
or oriental.

Several of the fringe a bit miffed that I didn't see
them after getting OUT, from lack of time or energy.

Whether he wd/ be flattered by adult attention, and remobilizable
you might consult Dave by phone, for his view of L8s possible
UTility

Dave being generally pessimistic re/ characters of his
contemporaries.

Giovannini of course occupied with professorial activities, etc.
You might like copies of letters that are being verifaxd.

sent some photostats to Dave, of Tinkham correspondence.
I doubt if yr/ active son in law shd/ be
aware of activities not strictly aimed at profit.

I don't know about
all those " ancestral" engravings, and Gallatin entered
american life too soon and too densely.

At any rate Dave and Giov/ have most of my news by now.

Yr/ London buzzard don't seem allergic to the same hoax that
was put over in Constitutional Convention 1789 approx.

no safeguard against similar trap in his vol.
Dagens Nyheter at least quoted ( fac sim) my: Every man has a
right to have his ideas examined one at a time.

Can you find out whether draft of bill re/ reform
college entrance ever got PRINTED. I naturally want list
of new congress, not waiting 6 months for Cong. Directory.

Dear Pomeroy

Glad you're better, and sorry all of you
suffering impendiments of one sort or nother.

Am basking in comfort so long as it is WARM.

Wondering in yr/ roman relative knows of any roofs in the south.
Report that it is " impossible to stir any INDignation now I am
out ".

which is of course beside the point. What I was OBjecting
to remains.

There is an otiose institution in Rome with PLENTY of
living space, called American Academy, now entangles with
the insteroot presided over Malkom pink Cowslip Cowley.

Roman villa done no GOOD to anybody in the line of mind,
Aldrickes were charming people, the VanBurens honest.

BUT place a hot bed of anti-Ventennio, mixed with sneakiest
coctail set, etc.

BUT a little conversation at the right
SOCIAL level might be useful

Mrs Raiola tried to get me room in a Villa donated to Virgilian Society but they ousted her.

No news that the Soc/ DOES anything of
any use or interest.

LOST opportunities. If you think what I cd/ have made of the
Roman Acad/
presumably in pursuit of what donor intended.

OBJection of society to ANY mental activity, etc.

Must be dozens of unused bunGaloes at Ostia, in the off season
I have been asked to Rome but never in PRACTICAL way,
also invites from further north, but am in no shape to
run round yattering to heteroclite audeinces.

Aachewiltz egyptology also of interest, but naturally
no Foundation backs it. ( vide sep. cov. )

Dear Col. Pomeroy,

I believe I left the F.H. James correspondence with you. If
you can put your hand on it, will you please send it by registered
post to

J. Elston
S.M.U.
Box 1332

Dallas 5, Texas. He seems to have the levelest
head in Texas, and has just sent on some very interesting data
re some bloke who found some gold bars in Texas and wants to keep
'em. You may have seen news of this along with a few other
indications of violations of constitution.

Elston is showing some curiosity about the James case and can
hold the stuff until I ask for it.

If Don Pedro gets to Italy it will be our gain, and leave
you in desert waste.

Can your son in law or Packard, or anyone get me any background
on a german named Klinger now director of the Associazione Stampa
Estera in Rome.

Does Task Force go to Elston. If not at least send him a sample
copy. It might also nourish Father Ginder who writes in a local
paper in Huntington, Indiana. Horton will have his address.
Enclose photo for Dave.

Ever yrs,

Does anyone in Rome send you press clippings? Or has Task Force
started to exchange with periodicals that occasionally print something?

Washington 6, D.C., U.S.A.
February 6th., 1959.

Dear E.P.,

Pursuant to your request I have this day mailed, registered, the
F.H.James correspondence to J.Elston, address as you have given
it, S.M.U., Box 1332, Dallas 5, Texas.

I airmailed your request for house or apartment accommodations in
Rome or vicinity and she, the Baroness Marincola di San Floro,
address, Via di Monserrato 154, Rome, airmailed in reply that she
will do her utmost and will advise you, to your address
which, of course I had given her.

I know of no plans General delValle has for going to Italy.

Conditions here have been going from bad to worse ever since you
left

I will send Elston our March and February TASK FORCE issues and
an important bulleton gotten out by American Public Relations
Forum that devotes considerable space to MENTAL HEALTH, and the
progress of Communism in all fields in America.

Are you getting TASK FORCE REGULARLY? We have had tough going
due to the condemnation of General delValle's Elkridge home by
the Maryland State Highway Com. and the terrific work he had to
devote in moving; And the seven weeks I was in Hospital and my
slow recovery.

I am happy to know that you and Mrs. Pound are enjoying Italy and
are both well.

Always sincerely yours,
