Description

"I am not indicating necessarily that you are a German sympathizer"

World War II-dated TLS signed “Harry,” one page, 8 x 10.5, United States Senate letterhead, September 30, 1939. Letter to William Hicks, in full: "Appreciated very much your good letter of the Twenty-eighth, and I am not indicating necessarily that you are a German sympathizer because you don't believe in the repeal of the arms embargo. I am giving everybody credit for honesty of purpose in expressing his views. My own view is that we will be much more likely to stay out of the conflict if the embargo is repealed. I would suggest that you read Mark Sullivan's column in the morning papers of today. It is a careful analysis of the proposed changes and just what cash and carry means. Sometimes even Mark Sullivan can be right. Always glad to hear from you." In fine condition, with three file holes to the top.
