Dear Jim,
I had looked forward to seeing you during the
morning program of the American Legion Convention on
Tuesday. By the time I arrived you had left but I
know what campaigning is like. I omdiuretlouawill
pull ahead in the stretch if you goo well under
young Adlai who doesn't stand up
direct fire. We'll all be rooting for you.
