[Telegram from T. N. Carswell to Senator Tom Connally - February 26, 1943] (open access)

[Telegram from T. N. Carswell to Senator Tom Connally - February 26, 1943]

A Western Union telegram sent to Hon. Tom Connally, U.S. Senate, Washington, D. C., from T. N. Carswell, Abilene, Texas, dated February 26, 1943. Carswell advises of the concern of parents of soldiers already dead and of sons now in the fighting zones, that they are understandably critical of a national do-nothing policy about strikes, slow downs and absenteeism and are asking if the Congress cannot act courageously and effectively when the very life of the nation is threatened, as it now is. The reverse side includes Western Union terms. "Hon. Sam Russell House of Rep Wash. D. C." is handwritten at the bottom of the page.
