Scope and Contents

JFS, letter to Susa, 21 May 1890: "While we are under the claws of the 'Great American Eagle' there is no use of teasing it by plucking its feathers. Even the truth should not be told at all times; and especially when silence is all that is required.... The policy now is, and it is a reasonable one, to pass by the sleeping lion, if we can, without kicking him."
