No secretary to tell tales whey you hand scrawl communications.
One would assume.....under any circumstances...that he would want to get his reservations "on the record".
I noticed something in the letter where it begins "I am retaining this copy" (or something like that) .....etc.. The "I" is different from all others (I think). That would make me think he stopped...and began again and that this was done under duress. I think someone in his own party has something on him.....like maybe a woman in a stinkn' pantsuit.
I hope someone will post the letter again.
