Correspondence Between President Harry S. Truman and Judge Albert Ridge

FILE - PERSONAL R.A.C. 633 December 29, 1947 7 Dear A1: Your letter of the twentieth was most highly appreciated by both Mrs. Truman and myself. Margaret sang here in Washington and seems xPP73 to have had the same sort of reception that she received in Kansas City and the other places where she has been. Of course, I am rather prejudiced in her favor and it makes me very happy when somebody writes and tells me she is all right, although her mother and I have tried very hard to keep The White House promo- tion angle from getting into her career. In spite of what the critics say I think she pleases the paying customers and that is the main thing. We are not going to relax the anti-trust laws as 277 long as I am President and I made that statement 36 at a recent press conference. I hope you and Peg received everything you wanted for Christmas and that you have a Very Happy 1948. Sincerely yours, HARRY S. TRUMAN Honorable Albert A. Ridge # sen United States District Judge Kansas City 6, Missouri PP73 Radio & lencert appearance "R"
