Dear President Truman:
As / listened to your speech last night, / was very
much insulted. you only told part of the Truthut Kurean
situation, of the United Nations action, and you didn't
give the honest facts. How ignorant of the facts do
you think many of us are today? Itis an insult to
me to have you consided / don't whats really going
on.
As to what is going on /would like to say a word,
/ and that is, / do not think we should be Killing Koreans,
or telling them how to run their country. For every
export of our "Democracy" in the form of bombs we
can't help but gain more friends for Rassia. As an
American, who believes in our Constitutional Gurernment
/ say ( will not support a war in Kerea!
Very disgusted,
Roberts. Latting
