February 25, 1946 Dear Justice Douglas: I can't tell you how very much I appreciated your good letter of February tventy-third, nor hotr much I appreciated the interview which I had with you on the ship Saturday night. I think you have made the best decision, although nothing in the world would have pleased me more than to have you a member of the official family. I can see, however, the necessity for maintaining the Court in tact. I hope you will remember that I expect to discuss a great many matters with you, which I believe will be a great asset to ne. Sincerely yours, HARRY S. TRUMAN Honorable Willian 0. Douglas Justice of the Suptene Court Tashington, D. C.
