Dear Averell:<br />

Thinking that possibly Bullitt's article in the recent issue<br />

of ``LIFE'' may not have come to your attention, I have clipped<br />

it and am sending it to you, feeling that it will interest you.<br />

At present writing all well here.<br />

With warm regards, I am,<br />

Sincerely yours,<br />

was behind them now and they were safe. <strong>The</strong>re would be no publicity on the Harriman-<br />

<strong>Bush</strong> sponsorship of Hitlerism.
