January 13, 1947 Dear Mr. Earle: Carter Barron gave me a photograph of the Potsdam "Little White House" sequence in THE BEGINNING OR THE END and later I saw the whole picture on the screen. You certainly have reproduced me in a most flattering way. In fact, I think you look more as a White House secretary should look than I do. Please accept my compliments and my grateful appreciation of your portrayal of "Charlie" in what must have been a pretty difficult scene. I like the result very much. Sincerely yours, HIRRY RATIONAL TRUMAN ARCHIVES AND RECORDS SERVICE GOVERNMENT CHARLES G. ROSS Secretary to the President Mr. Edward Earle c/o Mr. Sam Marx, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Culver City, California. cgr:mb Photo in scrapbook
