ARCHIVER NATIONAS AND
RECORDA
Dear Bill:
I appreciated very much your letter of July third and
I am sorry that I didn't have a chance to talk with you
before you left. In fact, I am sorry that I didn't have
an opportunity to discuss precedents with you before
you came to the conclusion you did on that crazy deci-
sion that has tied up the country.
I am writing a monograph on just what makes Justices
of the Supreme Court tick. There was no decision by
the majority although there were seven opinions against
what was best for the country.
I don't see how a Court made up of so-called "Liberals'
could do what that Court did to me. I am going to find
out just why before I quit this office.
Sincerely yours
Honorable William O. Douglas
Justice of the Supreme Court
Washington 13, D. C.
