A letter from Truman to Frothingham concerning Frothingham's support of National legislation on health insurance. The letter is thanking Frothingham for his support writing "I am more grateful then I can tell you for this assurance of your continued loyal support for the national health insurance program. As you so frankly indicate, that program has powerful enemies who are not above misrepresenting its aims and purpose, in fact it's fundamental principle." Truman continues saying that in the two years since the discussion was first introduced the appreciation of it has only grown. He declares that, "I am convinced that we must continue to move forward in promoting the principals of national health insurance." He also cites continuing efforts for other health measures and the need for more doctors.
