Draft of letter to the editor of the Providence Journal

Title:

Draft of letter to the editor of the Providence Journal

Recipient:

Providence Journal

Date:

[ca. December 1944]

Description:

This was likely drafted by one of Fogarty's staff in response to an editorial or letter in the Providence Journal that questioned Fogarty's motives in joining the Navy. The paper was a conservative one, and sharply critical of Fogarty in the early years of his career. His decision to quit Congress and join the Seabees was regarded by some as a political publicity stunt.
