Letter from Harry S. Truman to Burris A. Jenkins, Editor at the Kansas City Post

Juno 5, 1019. Burris A. Jankins, Witor, City Post, Kansas City, Mo. Dear Sir: I ana inclosing you copy of a letter which I have written to the Kansas City Star. It expresses the foelings of a dejority of the boya of the 355h Division, We have como to the poirit where when the question is aaked: #To what Divieion did you belong?", wo whon we anazer, The 35, the reply is going to be: FOh, that's the Division they uro raising 30 much hell about.' It hurts. We would like to have the controversy stopped begsuse we did our best and feel we contributed somethal to the final result. We want to thank you for the manner in which you have written of the 35th and the fairness which you have displeyed in all the articles which you have pub- lished. The artillery brigade of the 35th Division hnd citations from the Companding General of the 35th, the Commanding Coneral of the Blst and the Commanding General of the lst Division, They wera nover published by the Stor. It seemos to be the policy of that paper to print only things that are detriments to the revuta- tion of that artillery origade which was one of the few artillery brigales to maire good in every branch. I don't auppose the Star will ackmowladge my comunication, and I am sending it to you, therefore, to do with as you see fit. Very respectfully yours, HST-R 1 Inc.
