TLS, one page, 8 x 10.25, United States Senate letterhead, April 16, 1953. Letter to a constituent. In part: “I wish to thank you for your recent letter in which you discussed…multiple sclerosis…Certainly the challenge offered to medicine by multiple sclerosis is as great as that offered by many of the better known maladies, and the need for funds is urgent. You will be pleased to know that the amount allocated by the Bureau of the Budget for research on multiple sclerosis is $840,000 this year, an increase of $565,000 over last year’s appropriation. I am quite hopeful there will be no appreciable cut, if any at all, in this appropriation. It has not, however, been reported out of the Senate Appropriations Committee. With reference to the petition of Mohawk Airlines, this matter, as you know, is presently before the Civil Aeronautics Board…Of course you can be assured that my position will always be to secure adequate and beneficial air line service to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, a bend to lower right corner, and scattered wrinkling. An ink notation in an unknown hand along the bottom states part of this letter was copied and sent to another recipient.
