Letters, 1940.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36424217

Three typed and signed letters, one each from Alben W. Barkley, Noble J. Gregory, and Albert B. "Happy" Chandler, addressed to E.L. Nance. Each letter was written in 1940, apparently in response to one written by Nance. Two of the three letters indicate a definite opposition to WWII. Only Barkley's letter indicates a more neutral tone.
