President Truman, Sir;
As an American, I too can sit and write the things
of my heart. And as you are the object of most of
these thoughts, let us think about some real problem
S together I do not believe the United States will -
be bombed! Why? Because it would UNITE the peoples.
This would make us a foe to be feared. Not a handful
of frozen, sick, homesick boys in a foreign soil, up
against hopeless odds. Yes! I have my baby son there
and know he is EXPENDABLE, while the daughter you -
are able to protect mustn't even have her voice cri-
ticed. How would you like to know she was left at
the mercy of the cold and an endless enemy, lying
wounded, her fellow Americans fleeing for safety
while my daughters (I have two) were safe and prosper
ing mightily? Would you lie awake, as I do, or talk
to my other son eighty per-cent disabled from his
Service on Saipan? My heart doesn't break selfishly,
But is aching for every wife and child and mother.
Yes, the War bothered me as soon as it started, But
when my son was sent. It became real to me.
