Stofer to Byars, regarding the attached newspaper clipping, Kelsoe’s drinking habits, and President Roosevelt’s celebrations at end of the Prohibition with Anheuser-Busch beer: “He probably wanted to impress those sitting near him, that is as much as he polled twenty two million votes at the November election in 1932, he was justified in pouring down his throat all the Budweiser his stomach could hold.” Attached newspaper clipping from The Washington Post titled “Joseph C. Byars, Jr., Dies in New York.”, 1933 June 8
