VAL-KILL COTTAGE HYDE PARK, DUTCHESS CO. NEW YORK August 19, 1948 HARRY U.S. ARCHIVES 5. GOVERNMENT "NATIONAL SERVICE" RECORDS TRUMAN AND LIBRARY Dear Mr. President: I want to thank you for your kindness in seeing me yesterday and to tell you that I appreciate the difficulties under which you have labored. I wish you could have had better assistants. Above everything else, I high that the national committee will ask of the state committees that they make an aggressive campaign, picking up every mistake made by the other side, such as this Italian situation and pointing out again and again that they know what you stand for, and therefore it is essential that they give you the kind of meniin Congress who will make it possible for you to carry through a program for the benefit of the average man. I do not feel that the national committee is getting the maximum out of the state committees and while I am aggreat believer in the necessity for appealing to the independent voter, I also realize that our own machinery must function as well as possible. I hope your holiday will be a very pleas- ant one. Very cordially yours, Through Ronsearts
