Dear Rose Mary:
As usual the President did a magnificent job at the
Convention. We are all holding fast to the hope that
we can re-elect him in November. The greatest danger
to our cause can come from complacency, against which
we must constantly be alert and on guard.
For some strange reason it has been impossible for me
to get a card through to him, and I say very much aware
of the demands made upon his time. But he has always
been a loyal man and I'm sure he is not aware of this
But I am also pretty sure that some member of the
palace guard has done this thing to me.
I am attaching a clipping from the Los Angeles Times
which is somewhat ironic to me.
You see my number was up with the networks and the
motion pictue studios way back in 1952 when I had the
effrontery to campaign for Senator Nixon. It was not
too long after that that I became aware of what was going
on. I think it was about 1954 that a new executive at
20th Century Fox told his assistant that I was never
to be hired for narration at that studio. This repre-
sented cuite a loss to me in a year's time. I could live
okay without it but it still was quite costly to me.
Unfortunately I did not have enough time to accumulate
enough funds, as Sammy Davis and Frank Sinatra did, to
give me the financial independence which they have.
But I wonder if the President has ever been aware of
this problem I created which I created for myself so
long ago. It would be interesting to know.
My very best regards to you, as
ever.
