was a letter l wrote to my mother

as my dear boy l felt at that time
I was a man, or very near it, and
wrote saying that her constant ad-
dressing me as a boy made me feel
~displeased. received in reply a letter
full of %reproaches and tears. Among
other things. she said: You might grow
to be as big as Goliath, as strong as
Samson and as wise as Solomon; you
might become ruler of a nation or en-
peror of many nations, and the world
might revere you and fear you, but to
your devoted mother you would al
ways appear in memory in your inno-
cent, unpretentious, unself conceited,
unpampered babyhood. In those days
when I washed and dressed and kissed
and worshiped you, you were my idol.
Nowadays you are becoming part Of a
gross world by contact with it, and l
cannot bow down to you and worship
you, but II there are manhood and
maternal love transmitted to you, you
will understand that the highest COM
pliment that mother love can pay you

the time he was at liberty. After hts
escape January, under his assumed
name. secured employment and even
tually established himself in business,
which he was successfully conducting
at the time of his rearrest. He mar
ried and has a>child.
The Department of Justice, upon re-
ceipt of President Roosevelts memo
randum, dispatched letters to the trial

tried Anderson, asking for report on
the case and recommendation as to
whether he should receive executive
clemency. When these reports are re-
cived the department will make re-
port to the President.
