Letter from Eleanor Roosevelt to Harry S. Truman

Apartment 15-A 29 Washington Square, West New York Gity 11 November 8, 1946 Dear Mr. President: Things seem to be moving rather slowly in the United Nations. When I accepted membership on your Committee for Higher Education, I had thought that this Assembly meeting would take place in September and it did not occur to me that there might be any conflict in the meetings of the Assembly and your Committee on Education. To my regret, I am now worried for fear we will not be through in time for me to attend the meeting scheduled for December 10th and llth. I missed one meeting this summer and was unable to attend a sub-commit tee meeting. I am writing you now so that there will be ample time for you to appoint some one who is free. I ão not know whether you know Miss Charl Williams of the National Eques tion Association. She x410 was one of our first, if not the first, vice chairmen of the Democratic National Committee and has been in educational work all of her life. She might be a useful member of the committee. However, I am not making any snecific recommenda- ARD tion. SECORDS SERVICE Very cordially yours, Then Corsuett
