  • Notes: ". . . [I]t gave me added courage to have such hearty approval of my talk at Salt Lake City. I think your suggestion of using Senator Reed in the east should be given careful consideration and I will discuss this with Mr. [James] Farley at the first opportunity. I expect to express my views more in detail on the veterans plank . . . .
    ". . . I hope you had a chance to listen to my speech at Sioux City and believe you will agree with me that my voice is still going strong. . . ."
