Dear Mr President: Billy Rose Letter on the Red Barn
A 1946 Billy Rose letter to President Truman criticizes modern changes to barns and rural life. The missive dense with political humor urges Truman to resist technocrats and protect traditional farm structures, promising renewed public support if his lease is renewed. Accidents last year injured 1,500,000 farm people.
