Dear Sir: l take pleasure in
sending you copy of letter which

Hitchcock. This letter is to be pup
lished later on in volume III which
| have addressed myself to various
American politicians and publicists
Since your esteemed journal is
mentioned in this letter to the sena-
tor, and in view of the fact that the
letter deals with something which
concerns not only the politicians, but
also the people of America, its pub
lication in your columns (possibly

Of considerable interest. l am glad
