Description

“I expect to let him send all the Democrats in Kansas City that he possibly can to jail, and then if I can do it I am going to kick him higher than a kite”

TLS signed “Harry,” one page, 8 x 10.5, United States Senate letterhead, December 4, 1937. Letter to John W. Snyder. In part: “The Post-Dispatch seems to be in the midst of a serious spasm about Mr. Milligan, and they will probably be in the midst of a more serious one before they get through. I expect to let him send all the Democrats in Kansas City that he possibly can to jail, and then if I can do it I am going to kick him higher than a kite. I don’t see any reason why I should keep an enemy of mine in a good public office like that, when I have plenty of good friends who can fill it creditably.” In fine condition, with expected filing holes and a staple mark to the top. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
