Senator Huey P. Long

Dear Senator:

    After getting the news of the damnable rumblings of the Standard Oil to
put into effect the desires of all the Shimies, and of all the Brutuses, and
Bendict Arnolds this side of a yawning Hell to accomplish a deed so cowardly
that no one would recognize among civilized citizens.
    We want you to know that we are heart and hand with you in all your
undertakings, for we feel like you are the Poor Man's friend, and we know to
what class we belong, and to know what deep chasms of sin and degredation we
think these people have already gotten:  it brings our minds into an awful
plight.
    We are proud of the record our Senator has made, and sincerely regret such
murderous attempts on your life.  We do this to show you that your interests
are our interests, and if necessary, we will do all in our power to hold up
for law and freedom, and to enhance the value of our Grand old State.
    We are yours for service, and may God keep you.
