Dear Joe:
I am quite horrified by the piece which you wrote about Elliott . I assure you that I can corroborate the actual things which he said in his book, and so can a good many other people because they were told many times. He may have misinterpreted but that is a matter of opinion .
As to the experience in Moscow I think it would have been more sporting to wait until you had a chance to inquire from Elliott as to what happened and what had not happened.
You are entirely wrong in thinking that a tele-gram was sent by the family in the way that you suggest. Franklin, junior, must have told you that I sent a cable, but not for the reason that you attribute to me, but because I wished Elliott to know that he was being quoted and that probably the Repub-licans were going to bait him on everything that an inconspicuous person could say without any notice being taken of it . My cable could not have reached Elliott before he made his first and second statements, and you attribute the latter to the receipt of my cable, which was not sent until after his two statements appeared in the papers.
You may or may not think that Elliott is an admirable person . I happen to know that he has ideals and that he is doing what he is today from an idealistic feeling about his Father and his Father's policies. He is not a communist, but he is trying to be fair and to carry out the friendly spirit that he feels his Father had. I think we will get further that way, and those of us who are put in the position where we have to come in contact head on because of the subject matter, still try in every way possible to show that we are not unfriendly to the people themselves. I would have you read the end of my speech to Hr. Vishinsky .
I am old and it makes no difference to me what any body says or thinks, either in praise or in blame, but when you are young, if people are unfair , I think it does make a difference and I think you should have waited before condemning Elliott for
his side of the story. I know Ambassador Smith was not in Mos6ow, so he sent no message, but I am also aware that someone else did. Things in in cold print are often very different from the spoken word, which you kno~ as well as I do.
I have often differed with my children . I have always tried to recognize their motives which lay be hind wha t they said or did, that is something that we owe to those whom we love. I make no comparison be tween any of my children - that have different qualities and different abilities, but I do not think that Elliott is dishonest. I think he is quite conscious of the mistakes which he has made in life. As you grow older, you will realize that there are always two sides to every story and that sometimes people sin, but they rarely sin alone.
I ha ve rarely been more indignant than I was on r e aing the beginning of your column. I am d e voted to you, and for that reason, I feel that I must tell you truthfully how I feel about your not waiting to write until Elliott was back 1n the country and you could talk to him or he could at lea st answer you. Writing for money is no sin, which you well know, only dishonest writing is a s1n
Affectionately,

Dear Joe:
I am quite ho~ri,fied _by< tilt piece. which YOIJ. wi:pte about Elliott, I assure you ~hit '.1' cill' c6l:rob.oi!li'te<;'· . the actual things which he said in hia book, ' and so can a good many other people because they: were told many .times. He may have · mi.al-nter pteted but ·· that is a matter ·of opinion. :
As to the experience in Moacow , l think it woaid'- ha';li been more sport.ing to '!,.it 'until •you hl>d a. :Chance" to inquire from Elliott as to wha't' happened · ·, and what had not happened.
You ate entirely wrong hi thinkibg that a telegram was sent by the family in the way that you suggest . Frank l in, · junior, must have told you that 1 seJ.It a cable, but not for the reason that you a~tribute to me, but because I wished Bl'liott to kno" th,at he was being quoted · and ~ha,t p~obabl)'. the. Rep_ub-:, l icans were go~ng to . bait him -on everything that an inconspicuous -person CQUld say withoUt any not i ce being taken of it. My cable could not bave reached Elliott before he made Ilia fita't and second statements, and you attr-ibute the 'latter to the receipt of my cable, which wAs not sent un·ttl" after t
h.is two statements appeared in the pap~r·a.
You may or may not think that Elliott is an admirable person. I happen to know --that be .haa-1deala lind -;-that he is doing what he is today f rom an idealistic feel i ng about his Father and his Pathez'a policies; He is not a communist, but he is trying to be fair and to car r y out the friendly spi_rit that he feels his Father had. I think we will get fUrther that way, and those of us who are put in the position where we have t o come in contact head on because of t he subject matter, still. try in every way . pll&• sib l e to show that we are ·noi: unfriendly to the people t hemselves. I would have you tead tha end ' of my speech to Mr. Vishinsky.
I am old and it makes no difference, to me what any body says or thinks, .either in pralae or i.n bla11e , but when you are young, if p_eople are unfair, I think it does make a di.fff!rence and I . think~ you should have waited before · conde11ning Bllilltt .fo~

his side of the s tory. I know Ambassador Smith was not in Moscow, so he sent no message, but I am also aware that someone else did. Things in in cold print are otten very different from the spoken word, which you know as well as I do.
I have often differed with my children. I have • always tr i ed to 'recognize their motives which lay behind what they said or did, that is something that we owe to those whom· we love. I make no comparison between any of my children - that have different qualities and different abilities , but I do not think that Elliott is dishonest. I think he is quite conscious of the mistakes which he has made in life. As you grow older, you will realize · that there are always two sides to every story and that sometimes people sin, but .they rarely sin alone .
I have rarely been more indignant than I was on reaing the tieginn ing of YPUf column.· l am devoted to you , and for .tha t-3 reason~ I feel that
> • ,-1 must tell you t ruthfu_lly how I feel about ¥,OUr not waiting to write until Elliott was backctn~ the country and you could talk to him or he could at l east answer you . · Writ i ng for money i s no sin, which you well know, on@y dishonest writing i s a sin
Affectionately, ..
