L. Mendenhall, Inc., in Kansas City. The idea was conceived to print a booklet that would refresh in the minds of Americans the principles upon which this country was founded and duilt. The attached copy is a result of my efforts. : It was our idea that we need to know the roles great Americans had in building America---we need to know of the heritage of America---we need to know the ideals for which we stand---we need to know the truths that undérlie what we call "the American way." We believe that every American would do well to read this booklet---that it would help us carry on through the emergency, and would help us build a better new order after the war. This pre-publication edition was printed for the purpose of getting opinions of its merit and worth before under- taking distribution. May I have your comments as to its value? They will be greatly appreciated. less P.S. Sincerest wishes for the team's
