Wednesday, 13 November 1935

Dick gave me [this] last night for Daddy:

1934 Version of Twenty-Third Psalm

Mr. Roosevelt is my shepeherd
I am in want
He maketh me to lie down on park benches
He leadeth me beside the still factories
He disturbuth my soul
He leadeth me in the paths of destruction for his party's sake
I anticipate no recovery
For he is with me
His policies and diplomacies - they frighten me
He prepareth a reduction in my salary and
In the presence of my enemies
He appointeth me small income with taxes
And my expense runneth over 
Surely unemplyment and poverty shall follow me
All the days of my life
And I shall dwell in a mortgaged house forever.
