George G. Daniel to Bradford Knapp

I have an inspiration. I cannot desist from penning this. My heart fluttered when I read the first suggestion. The present motion of my pen is an answer to this second one. As one of your Local Emergency Agents from Washington to Alabama -- as an agent endowed with the love of freedom -- I am to ask you to beseech our Beloved President to stay in this country remembering that it is still the order of events for Satan to present himself before the Lord when the sons of God are present. There are evil forces from hell ever and anon seeking to destroy. Let us be on our guard. Our army forces and military missions amply represent the Chief Executive of our beloved country abroad. We need our President for service not for show. When the militicidal furore has ceased, then the triumphal arch will be in order. We need our President to open the New Age with a Third Term: for when the war is over the Age of George Washington will have been consummated and the age of Woodrow Wilson or Fundamental Democracy, will have begun its work with this New Age Man answering to the clarion echoes of John's Apocalyptic vison: Behold I make all things new. (Rev. 21:5)

Dear Chief: To my mind this is the greatest emergency work I can do even while on my August furlough.

Please convey my feeling to the President, not of cowardly fear for the safety of the President, but rather, taking my cue from the wisdom of an old Roman saw: Timeo danaos et dona ferrentes.

I have the honor to be, dear Chief
