Pearson, Drew (1897 - 1969) American journalist best known for his muckraking column "Washington Merry-Go-Round"; President Roosevelt once called him a "chronic liar." Typed Letter Signed, one page, 11 x 8½ inches, on "The Daily Washington Merry-Go-Round" stationery, Washington D.C., January 18, 1938. To Rabbi Louis Wolsey, a major force in Jewish affairs in Philadelphia admitting mistakes he had made about contributions by Bernard Baruch to Jewish thought. "I am delighted to be corrected by you regarding Bernard Baruch as leader of any Jewish thought. However, Mr. Baruch has made many contributions to Jewish philanthropies and I believe that in general he will be considered not only a Jewish leader but also--particularly during his Chairmanship of the War Industries Board--a leader in the United States.…" Light toning, else fine.
