Text

My dear Mr. President:

In a few words in your inaugural address you indicated in the most certain terms the reforms needed to turn the tide of discontent amoung our people to something akin to the feeling that the human equation will soon be solved, and when solved, the answer will be equal protection and opportunity for each citizen.
When Congress enacts legislation in harmony with your inaugural address, it will kindle afresh in many, and for the first time in the hearts of millions of our citixens the hope that enactment of wise legislation will gradually eliminate from our present civilization the many inequalities and injustices which bear heavily upon our people.
You said to Mr. Gompers and myself that you thought we would be satisfied with your address. I am satisfied, and will do what I can to have Congress enact the legislation necessary to secure the splendid reforms which you have clearly outlined in your address.

Yours very truly,
Frank Morrison
