To his friend Robert Richart Gros. Nice political content. In part “...<i>Truman has got the country in a pretty awful plight...a man who was so simple a few years ago</i> [has] <i>developed a superiority complex or megalomania...is pathetic...an indication of his complete unfitness for public office...Gird your loins, no one knows what might happen.</i>..” Boldly signed. Fine.</span></p>
