January 18, 1947 Dear Ethel: You don't know how very much I appreciated your good letter of January fourteenth, and I am happy that you liked the family tree book. It seemed to me to be very complete and it will be something for the archives if you can get it all filled in as it should be. I saw "Henry V . You know we have a small picture theater in The White House and when Margaret is home we have two or three pictures a week - that is the only way I ever get to see a picture show. I was particularly struck with your suggestion that the Ralph Truman in that play is surely a descendant of the brewery branch of the family. I judge that is on account of his first name. I want to apologize for not writing this letter by hand. If I had forty-eight hours in the day, I think, maybe I could get everything done that I ought to do. Sincerely yours, Miss Ethel Noland 216 North Delaware Independence, Missouri
