Letter from Dorothy Weir

143-09 Barclay Ave
Washington, D.C.
April 1, 1950
President Harry S. Truman
White House
Washington, D.C.
I am writing to register a protest against your action in releasing General
Douglas MacArthur of his command. I think it is an outrage and believe it
benefits our Congress to do something about it. In fact, I have written them
today telling them so.
May I suggest to you that General MacArthur probably has forgotten more about
the Far East than those advising you in Washington have ever known. As a good
American, I am ashamed of my President! Of course, I am not one of your
followers -- have never voted for you -- and will never vote for you.
In my opinion you have committed the worst blunder of your administration.
Very truly yours,
(Miss) Dorothy E. Weir
