Accompanied by the original mailing envelope and one of the enclosures referenced, a copy of Truman's letter to Douglass, in part: "You can rest assured that the dirty columnists headed by Duke Shoop, Walter Winchell and Pearson will do everything they can to smear Bill Boyle. That is customary with anyone who happens to be in any way connected with me in a confidential manner."
