The document is from George B. Schwabe, a member of Congress, responding to a postal card from Margaret Castella expressing support for the continuation of the O.P.A. Schwabe shares his opinion that the O.P.A. should be continued with limitations and restrictions, but ultimately voted against it due to overwhelming opposition from his constituents. He sympathizes with teachers, like Castella, who have been paid too little. Schwabe thanks Castella for expressing her views and assures her that he is honest in his convictions.
