President of the U.S.
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President:
In Life Magazine of Oct. 22, 1945, pages 31
and 33 were the following statements:
"His antidotes (meaning the President of the U.S.)
for trouble were homespun; a handshake, A DRINK OF
BERBON, a few laughs and a get together in a spirit
of common sense around a fraternal table."
"Traveling by plane and fast automobile, he
visited five states, had time for two days of POKER
at Reelfoot Lake Tennessee where he supposedly went
for fishing."
"There is nothing wrong with me that a little
WHISKY would not cure, if they would let me have it."
Mr. President, is that antidote, A DRINK OF
BERBON, the example which you would like to see the
people of the United States and the world follow?
Do you think DRINK and POKER PLAYING is the
prescription Christ would give to a world seeking
PEACE?
I am enclosing a copy of the "Prescription
For Peace" which I trust you will have time to read
and meditate.
Respectfully yours,
J.R. Myarty
J.R. McLarty
