Hoover, do you not see the crowd  gathering at at your doorstep? Do you know why they’re here? They’re here for their bonuses.  What difference would it make if pay them now instead of  in the future? Do you hear the  children cry? They don’t want in 1945 with the insurance, they  want it now! Why delay and let them suffer? Don’t wait anymore. We mean no harm, we just want our money. Why reject the Patman Bill .Can those out there live impoverished and poor. They need to feed their children. They need to live in a house instead of a Hooverville. You said that everyone would have a house again. You said that the Depression would blow over in a couple of weeks. You said that we would get our bonuses one day. The Depression isn’t over after a few months. Some are still living without a house. We think that you’ll never give us our bonuses. Help us trust us again.I hope you will show some way of helping us. Don’t delay, give us our bonuses now. What difference will it make? Don’t hurt us with arms and guns. When the day comes when we get  our bonuses we will have left this world due to the depression. Everything you do makes you image worse. Do something that will make your image better. Even thought the veterans have left that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t pay a bonus to them. I hope you will show some compassion to us. Don’t make General Douglas MacArthur and Dwight D. Eisenhower fight against us.
