Dear Mr. Justice Jackson:
I have read and studied ly the report which you submitted
under date of October eventh lasterning the prosecution of major
Nazi war criminals at urnberg. tigation approaching this, the
first international crminal assiz history, ever was attempted.
For my own prt I have noitancy in declaring that the
historic precedent setat Nurnberg dantly justifies the expenditure
of effort, prodigious hough it washis precedent becomes basic in
the international law { the futurene principles established and
the results achieved pace Internati Law on the side of peace as
against aggressive warare.
I am convined that the velt for which you worked will
receive the accolade 0 civilized ped everywhere and will stand
in history as a beacorto warn interronal brigands of the fate
that awaits them.
Although you own part in thispensing of international
justice is at an end ere remains, asu emphasize, the task of
meting out justice tohe German militsts, industrialists,
politicians, diplomatts and police obials whose guilt does not
differ from the guiltf the criminals have already been dealt
with except that thesremaining malefars played their miserable
roles at lower levels I note what you, concerning the method
through which these maining criminals e to be brought to justice.
The recommendations ch you make in thiregard, coming as they do
out of your experient at Nurnberg, will given careful consideration.
In accepti, effective as of the day, your resignation as
representative of thrresident, and Chieff Counsel for the United
States, I can but teer you my heartfelt anks and the thanks of
the Nation for the gat service which you ive rendered.
