find out you lied to me again, you can start hanging around Pee Wee Rockhead Reese or whoever else because for my money I never even heard of you. Donât jinx the dirt.
You will start listening to what I have to say and not give me lip when I tell you something that is for your own good. This is not because I am Charlie Banks and not because I play 3b for the NY Giants, which I do, but because I am older than you.
Donât ever call me âBanksâ again. Or âMisterâ. You call me Charlie or whatever otherknicknames we come up with. As long as none of them are Chucky. And if you ever tell me to âGo to Hellâ again, you will be alot shorter than you are now.
I will try to remember that you are only 12 and therefore there are things you have not learned yet and do not deserve to get chewed out for from not knowing. I already have made this mistake a couple of times and I will try not to do it again. But Iâm not promising anything.
If you ever catch me doing something I shouldnât of, like socking some guy who maybe it wasnât their fault or saying somebody is a Noodlehead who happens to be one of your idles like that Meatball in the White House, you get equal time. This means you can sound off and tell me where to put it if you think Iâve got it coming. Only if I was you I wouldnât make this part a habit. Because Iâm not just older than you, Iâm bigger too.
You will stop putting quotion marks around asshole with a space in the middle. It really pisses me off when you do this.
We each get to say whatever we want that bugs us about the other one. This is not for purposes of being a wise-guy but for fixing it before other people notice. I get to start: you talk too much Bucko. Give somebody else a chance once in a while, for crying out loud.
If anybody ever really hurts you, you tell meand I will take care of it. Your still going to have to fight most of your own battles by yourself. But not all of them.
You will always remember that you are probably somebody very special. I do not know this for a fact yet, but nobody ever made me strike out 4 times before. Especially Higbe.
This will be signed and waiting for me when I get back from Michigan.
Can I get a hit now?
Charlie
P.S. And I will still be thinking of you on Tuesday when I vote for Willkie.

Dear Joseph:
Stephen Early has passed along your October 30th letter for my reply.
First, allow me to express my thanks for your diligent efforts on my behalf. The forty-seven votes you were able to secure for me in Brooklyn counted for a great deal. In an election such as this one, each of them is precious.
Second, I was most impressed with your state-by-state analysis of the electorateâparticularly since you were 16 votes closer to the truth than the Gallup poll was. I consider myself fortunate to have you in my corner. I would be in substantial trouble had you decided to endorse my opponent.
Mrs. Roosevelt joins me in sending our good wishes for the upcoming holiday season and beyond.
Yours very truly,
Franklin D. Roosevelt
