Dear Mr. President:
I was very much interested in your letter of February
27th, and I am glad you are not going to line up with
those who want to sell us out to the Russian govern-
ment, or with the Byrds and the Eugene Coxes!
These Southern statesmen seemed to be very short-sighted
and you are right when you say that the leadership in
the Democratic Party is tired. Perhaps the people are
too. Unfortunately, this is a bad time to be tired.
Thank you for your good wishes on my trip to Europe.
I shall try to observe conditions and I shall try to
find out from the Secretary of State before I go
whether he has any particular points that he wishes
stressed and any he wishes me to avoid in any speeches
which I may make. I am going to London as you know,
and to Brussels and to Holland. If you have any sug-
gestions I shall be grateful to you if you will send
them to me.
I hope your trip to Florida was enjoyable and of great
benefit.
Very cordially yours,
There
