"What a kick to get your letter and enclosure. No, I wasn't running for office and in those days would have bet the farm I never would. . . .

"The letter you enclosed was one of a bunch I sent out after the Drew Pearson column. They were replies to angry letters I received and almost every one got an apologetic response. Whatever happened to those days? . . ."
