About This Item
Washington, D.C.,, 1949. 1 page, on White House Stationery to Rev. G. Bromley Oxnam, Bishop of the Methodist Church in New York City and dated July 7, 1949. This was a time of intense friction between President Truman and leading Protestant Bishops because of Truman's attempt to replace his informal envoy to the Vatican with a permanent ambassador namely General Mark Clark. Oxnam, emboiled in an especially nasty feudr with New York's Cardinal Spellman, was especially outraged objecting to the United States establishing official relations with the Holy See. Many in Congress who harbored resentment against General Clark for the way he handled the Italian Campaign during the war were equally upset and after long and bitter rangling the nomination was withdrawn. In this letter Truman tries to reassure Bishop Oxnam concerning the proposed change of status which had just been cancelled.. Near Fine.
