My dear Admiral
I think the clipping below will amuse you and perhaps the President.
The following newspaper clipping is pasted on the lower left of the above note.
“Bernard M. Baruch will keep prices down,” said a constituent. “Rich as he is, he never consents to be done with-out a protest.
“Once a hotel man tried to do Mr. Baruch on his bill. Mr. Baruch studied the bill over grimly. Then, putting it in his pocket, he said:
“‘Got any two-cent stamps?’
“‘Certainly, Mr. Baruch. How many would you like?’
"‘Humph,’ said Mr. Baruch. ‘How much are they apiece?’
“The millionaire’s bills after that were always reasonable.”—
[Philadelphia Bulletin.]
Very Sincerely,
Clifford N. Carver.
