July 30 , 19~5 . CampGbello , N.B.

\'.1111 you please g,=t Franklin to sien a photogDaph for IJlary McGusty and send it to her to North St reet , Greenwich , Conn.? I am a little weary of having he r write for it.

Also , did yOU get some one i n the State Department to write up what had been done on tariff by special agreement , etc.? If so , would you please send me the article to reprint in the Demo~atic News this month? I would like t l as quickly as possible because I have to do the News before leaving here and that means send ­ing ~he material to the printer and having him send it back here .

Did you dec i de to get silver for the girls? If so, I want to get a piece from us to match . Please let me know .

Also , don ' t forg e t August 9th , is Grace Tully ' s birthday - perhaps you can have a cake for her . I ~ sent(. her a note .

It is perfectly glorious here and I am sorry for you all in Washington and wish you . auld be here too .

LUsey dear:

It wae nice to get your letter and I am glad to know the check went to the usher.

You are a very wise lady to be going to New York to have a good time as I know these last few weeks have been trying.

I just talked to Franklin on the telephone and I am 80 sorry I will not be here to meet him, but I am going to New York for young Forbes Morgan's wedding and w111 not be back until Saturday afternoon.

I am asking a few people for lunch on Sunday otherw1se there is nothing going on.

August 17, 1937,

MiBSY dear:

I am writing Ure. Nesbitt of certain changes that have to me m~de this winter ip view of the fact that Elizabeth Henderson will be with us.

As 'IOU knol'l tlrs. McDuffie has chafl,ge of the whole third floor and f:hile she has helped yOll , Uabel h:!s always done all your mending and pressing. This coming winter Mabel will do my mending and maiding , mending for the President and John and whatever I think nec­cessary to be done for little Elizabeth.

When Mabel is away . Ura. McDu.ffie will have to do whatever is necessary for Elizabeth. She will also have to do all your mending and pressing and if this proves too much for her at anytime , I think you had just better get Lillian in for a couple of hours in the afternoon once a week or so and pay her for her time.

Does this seem to you a good arrangement? If not let me know and I \'1il1 try to adjust it

Dear Missy:

THE W~IT E ~OUSE

January 25, 1941

I think the President I s birthday dinner this year should have as its theme the Third Term.. I hope each or you will come in a character of a person living in the past, the present, or the future, but arriving at the dinner prepared to give by way of song, or verse, or dance, or dramatic representation, something amusing or inspiring on this unusual situation to the birthday child who has to tread unknown paths.

I am countil18 on YOIlI' imagination and "ell-known versatile talent to make this an amusing and memorable evening - so please do not "ail or refuse 1

I sent the letter from Mrs . Bennett and the wire from Mi ss Plastrldge to Miss Falke. If I sent it to Rex, she would get it any wayl

It might be a good idea in a few days to telephone her and ask if anything has been done, as you are writing me and woul d like to report. It might hurry her t

We are still enjoy ing gorgeous weather and feeling very sad as the days go by so rapidly .

I do not know how yOll a l l hav0 stood the heat - from all r eports it has been pretty te rrible.
