Now as for your desire to cut my hair. 1 must protest. You; wouldn't want to sheer me, with winter coming ori, would you? How¬ ever, when spring approaches, I might let you try. if 1 am in your area.
Once again thank you for your letter.  I  hope this finds  you and your family well.    ' Sincerely, S/Everett McKinley Dirksen
