OCR Page 1 of 2THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
August 10, 1948
Personal and Confidential
Dear Edgar:
I appreciated very much your letter of the fifth
and I suppose that matters will settle down in
the County so we can take it into the Democratic
column as usual.
I don't understand Roger's approach to the political
situation and I don't suppose I ever will understand
it. When I took over the political organization in
Jackson County in 1926, after Mike Pendergast died,
none of the old friends of the organization were
penalized or mistreated and that hasn't been the
case since Roger took over. The result of the
election shows how most of the people feel about
it. He and Jim Pendergast have succeeded in
breaking up the organization completely. Sometime
or other, when I get through running the country,
I think I'll come back and try to breathe a little
life into it.
Sincerely yours,
Harry
