beskrivelse:

A drafted response (probably unsent) by U.S. President Harry S. Truman to a telegram from U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy. It reads:

My dear Senator:

I read your telegram of February eleventh from Reno, Nevada with a great deal of interest and this is the first time in my experience, and I was ten years in the Senate, that I ever heard of a Senator trying to discredit his own Government before the world. You know that isn't done by honest public officials. Your telegram isn’t only not true and as an insolent approach to a situation that should have been worked out man to man but it shows conclusively that you are not even fit to have a hand in the operation of the Government of the United States.
I am very sure the people of Wisconsin are extremely sorry they are represented by a person who has as little sense of responsibility as you have.

Sincerely yours,
[HST]
