COPY Everett, Wash. September 15, 1949 President Harry S. Truman Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: When are you ever going to come down to earth and realize that there are people all over in need of employment aid help of any kind. We haven*t We haven’ t had a steady job for nearly 11 months and more are being laid off daily. It is very terrible. Why don't you do something toward providing work for the citizens of U.S. instead of giving all thatmoney and aid to Europe and others, make sure the people who put you where you are today, are taken care of? If you can't do something to aid the citizens of this country you should ask for advise. If folks can't pay their rent buy food and pay utilities and have a few clothes to wear what are they going to do? Our family is in pretty desperate means. Why don't you set up W.P.4. or some other means to aid the people. We can't seem to receive help in any way. We have a terrible time receiving any social security checks of unemployment compensation or county or state welfare relief. How am I going to feed my family, provide them with clothes and such if my husband can't have a job, he's hunted daily but no one is hiring help these days. We will be evicted from our house, utilities and things denied us if we don't find some way to earn money to pay them. We are in desperate need of help immediately. You people back there in Washington, D. C. should take steps to aid the people you rule. I am a very worried house wife and I hope I receive a reply as I need to know how we can receive the help we need. Sincerely, (signed) Mrs. B. G. Eedd Rte. 1, Box 179 Everett, Wash, (Original to Dept, of Labor)
