7651 August 9, 1952 Dear Mr. Ambassador: I certainly appreciated your good letter of August fifth regarding the situation in the Dominican Republic. It is the policy of the newspapers to try to embar- rassoublic officials if there is the slightest oppor- tunity for doing so. If I were you, I would pay no attention to that misquotation but go right ahead and do the job a.s it should be done - then they will have to like it. It was a pleasure to receive your letter. Sincerely yours, HARRY S. TRUMAN Honorable PhelpsPhelps American Ambasseut American Embassy Ciudad Trujillo Dominican Republic
