I have reed i¢ with the greetest of pleesure and approval. Your etyle ef writing reminds me of Chief Justices Pughes, whose epinions I think are Twentieth Ces- tury models of judicial style. There is @ further reason J ae gled and proud of the fect thet you hed the epportumity te renter this opinion. Upon ‘weny wecentons, both in teshingtes amé trrougbout the United States, ia Siseussiag you Sith ether leayers I Bbeve stoutly maintained thet you sere ene of the Pisest typea ef eonserve- tive-liperal jedges, but heave pot always found my bretber: in Pareement @rling to the atill azisting misunderstanding of your Wiers thet is the result of the vieious attack @por you at the Sime you were as for eoafirmation for 4 position on the Supreme Court of the United States. This spinian will, i think, do much to put you in the true light before the liberal lewyere of dmerisa. You know as your life leng friend end eduirer thet 7 want te see this dons, IT beve a similer feeling atout the visdleation shich J am eure is eoming for my ehief, Attorney General Cummings.

Se £0 aeeve She T.U.4. gase be eppoisted Mr. John Lord_O'Brien, who wes is the Departasnt under Hoover. Mr. Holtgoff fe elso a bold-over from the BRoover s@ninistration, Memy ether instances @ould be eited. While J am mot in the Attorney General's eon- Fidenee, I feel that he wes ectuated by the most pstrictio motives. However, you will mnderstsnd that the eonduct of ltr. Boover, end of the group of which he is the head, hes been ao wielous, wnfeir, and at tines elmost indecent, that those who $hrough Life have been persontlly devoted t the President and his family, both parsonslly and offiaially, bitterly resent anything that leoks like the ecotinvamcs sf the Hoover influsnsce.
