[Letter from Representative George Mahon to T. N. Carswell - February 9, 1949]
a letter written to Mr. T. N. Carswell, Abilene, Texas, from George--George Mahon, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., dated February 9, 1949.

He states that there are many things advocated by the Democratic platform and the President which he cannot and will not support and advises of the need for economy in the regular agencies of the government but not the military. In discussing Carswell's references to Mahon's Senatorial possiblities Mahon agrees that is takes "many thousands of dollars" to run for the Senate; "It is a weakness of our democracy that men must often compromise themselves in order to get money to finance state-wide campaigns", but he promises to keep Carswell's thoughts in that "connection" in mind.

[Letter from T. N. Carswell to Senator Tom Connally - February 18, 1946]
A letter written to Senator Tom Connally, U. S. Senate, from T. N. Carswell, dated February 18, 1946.

Carswell also offers insight regarding world peace; "In the matter of dealing with Russia it appears to me we are pursuing a course of appeasement and compromise that will as surely end in disaster as did a comparable policy in dealing with our recent enemies―will result in our subservience―Civil War came in spit of all Clay's compromises."
