TLS signed “Lyndon,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Congress of the United States, House of Representatives letterhead, September 20, 1943. As a representative of Texas’s 10th District, Johnson writes to J. B. Mathis of Austin, Texas, in part: “While I would like nothing better than to be of assistance to your son, and I deeply sympathize with his desire to serve overseas and in a commissioned capacity, there is very little that a Congressman can do in a matter of this kind. The Army and Navy feel their efficient operation depends on placing personnel where vacancies occur and where men are needed most at a particular time. I shall be more than glad to contact the Adjutant General in behalf of your son, but I feel I should tell you that such action is sometimes more harmful than helpful to the boy. Under the circumstances, if you feel there is anything I can do, I will appreciate hearing from you further, and of course will take any action you suggest,” adding a brief, handwritten note below, “Jimmie—I’m mighty afraid to intervene but will do anything you say—I just don’t want to hurt our boy.” In fine condition, with scattered creasing. Accompanied by four letters and two mailing envelopes of correspondence concerning the friend’s request. A desirable letter, featuring crisply-penned, concerned sentiments from Johnson while the nation’s military forces were being battered in the invasion of Italy.
