A letter written to President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower, Augusta, Georgia, from T. N. Carswell, dated November 13, 1952. Carswell advises of his support and money given to Eisenhower's candidacy because he was disgusted with "the mess in Washington" advising Eisenhower that "were it known you had availed yourself of General MacArthur's first rate knowledge of Korean and related affairs, it would appreciably strengthen public confidence and afford wide and great satisfaction". Carswell continues, "The Korean war is of our meddling. Desertion now, without justice and honor, is as unthinkable to you as to me."
