my Dear mr Truman
GOVERNMENT
I have been receiving information in regards
to your serving Soldier boys, invited to your
home to lea: that you serve beer to these
boys. now why are you tempting boys to be
victimized by the brewers by allowing beer
to be served, why cannot you serve soft
drinks to those boys.
I do not think you would want margaret
exposed to drink as these boys are being lempted
or would you want some one to offer drunk to
margaret. now please this is not a cranks notions but I
are writing in be holf of mothers mothers of
sons who are now fighting for our freedom and
we feel we dont want our boys being tempted
by drenk.
Sincerely yours
President Homans Christian Jemperance Anion
