THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
February 6, 1947
Dear Mrs. Roosevelt:
This is to acknowledge your telegram of February
fourth. Pardon me for not having made earlier acknowledg-
ment of your second letter of resignation for membership
on the President's Commission on Higher Education.
I appreciate how full your schedule is and
hesitate to add to your burden of work. I can readily
understand how difficult it is for you to attend meetings
of the Commission.
May I ask you to continue your membership with
a
very distinct understanding that you will not be expected
to attend meetings while your work on the Human Rights
Commission continues, nor even later, except on such
occasions as are entirely convenient to you. When the usual
notifications of meetings of the Commission on Education
reach you, Miss Thompson can receive them with this under-
standing, and such notices will not even require an
acknowledgment.
Quite frankly, I would like to have the prestige
which your name gives to the Education Commission and
I know Dr. Steelman feels the same way about it. I hope
you an.continue your membership under these condations.
Very sincerely, yours,
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Apartment 15-A,
29 Washington Square, liest,
New York 11, New York.
