TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9.5, White House letterhead, November 20, 1950. Letter to Dwight R. G. Palmer of the Democratic National Committee, in full: "I am informed that a cross-section of American leadership—leaders of business, of labor organizations, of farm groups, of professional and civil groups and members of Congress—will attend the second annual National Democratic Dinner in New York on December twelfth. I wish that I could attend this dinner in person, to talk with all of you about your roles in the critical days ahead. There is not going to be any short-cut to preserving our own freedom or securing the peace of the world through international cooperation of free and peaceful nations. Business men, working people, farmers, all of us will have to give up things we should like to have. The people of our Nation have honored the Democratic Party by entrusting the National Government to our hands. Those of us at the head of the Government need your support not merely as Democrats but as leaders in American public life, in meeting the problems that lie ahead. We seek no partisan advantage in those fields that affect our national defense and our relations with other nations. I am confident that the American people have never been more strongly united in their determination to preserve our own freedom and to aid friendly nations to keep their independence and work together to secure peace through international cooperation. Our actions in the days ahead must reflect that unity and I am confident that all of you will do your utmost to see to it that a united American people overcome the obstacles and dangers which lie between us and our common goal of a just and lasting peace." Matted and framed to an overall size of 13 x 16 In fine condition, with two small spots of white-out.
