Dear Judge Levinson:

I am not going to the Maine shore for the Summer consequently I do not have to scramble through my mail before leaving to stumble upon your letter of July 3rd, but it comes to me in due course this morning. I am glad to have it.

I have not yet seen a copy of my brief. When I do I shall be glad to send one to you at Kennebunk Beach. After you have read the brief I hope you may consider renaming your beach and calling it Debunk Beach.

I am just a little bit surprised at your inability to figure out how "a great lawyer can be opposed to a court". I had not before thought there was so much in a name. I am quite sure you would not care to give your approval to Hitler's drumhead three-minute court, just because it is called a court; an assassinational tribunal, — whether it operates upon individuals or nations, — does not acquire the dignity of a court merely by naming it.
