Mr . Charles W. Taussig

120 Wall Street New York, New Yor k Dear Mr. Taussig: As you requested over the telephone the other day I am enolosine, the le tters which I have recei ved from four of the State Directors r egarding the pos::ible placement of youth refugees . This leaves Houston Wright of Okl ahoma, Chester Lund of Minnesota, and John Lasher of \'/isconsin to be heard f rom. You will note t hat !.ir. Campbell of Illinois believes thet he can place unofficially the whole probable q uota of 1,000 . f. number of plans have been suggested as to what procedure should be fo 110\'led, but I imagine that you and I had better get together vti th the natione.l committee in lle~·t York before deciding upon which one should be foll~ved. I shall be gls.d to come up to · liew York for a br ief visit a lmost ar.y day vtithin the next week--ar.d think that this probably had better be done, since I am getting married a week from Friday ard shall be gone on a combined business trip and honeymoon to the Vlest Coast until about July 15.

Sincerel y yours ,
