Letter regarding Hays' defeat in the Arkansas Democratic gubernatorial primaryAugust 17, 1966 Dear Brooks: This is a belated line to say with what sorrow I read the reports of the Arkansas primaries (in both stages). I still think you were right to go back and make the fight, and I am confident that the educational value of your example and leadership will long outlast political setbacks. I do hope we will see each other soon in one or another of these great metropolises. My best to your wife. Yours ever, Arthur Schlesinger, jr. ASJ:gob Mr. Brooks Hays The White House Washington, D.C
