Mr. G. T. Petersen,
101 South 6th East St.,
Salt Lake City, Utah.
My dear Sir:-
Please accept this tardy acknowledgment of your cordial letter of November 20th, conveying your approval of my action in the Hillstrom case. I have been so very busy with other matters that it has been impossible to handle the mail before now.
I want you to know that I appreciate very much your courtesy and thought in conveying this kind expression of support. I have taken the liberty of showing your letter to the members of the Board of Pardons who join me in this expression of thanks.
Cordially yours,

Governor.
