This is one of many letters written to Arnold Beckman in response to his comments on the topic of education. In this handwritten letter, J. S. Criswell identifies as a teacher and threatens legal action against Beckman, who has “not learned these fundamental differences” between facts, half-truths, statements, and lies.
