FDR and the Supreme Court
February 6, 1937
Just a word of commendation from one of 30 million who believe in you.
Your desires and wise conclusions concerning revamping the judicial system is a reform that should long ago have been achieved-- but could not be for the reason that reaction has been in the saddle.
Certainly vitalizing the Supreme court is a subject all men have a right to disagree upon-- but the disagreements come from representatives of 'economic royalists" who want no reform that is not re-formed in their favor.
The voters in three successive elections increasingly gave YOU their endorsement. You are "on the green light". Go ahead and free wheeling to you!
And that Child Labor amendment. DO, please, keep behind it and give the kids the right to enjoy the blessed irresponsibility of childhood-to play, to be educated, to be "just kids" and not little slaves.
Mr. President-- you've got what it takes. More power to you!
With sincere respect and admiration,
Yours unfailingly,
W-- H--
