*MATIONA&

RECORDS
WORLD CENTER BUILDING
WASHINGTON 6, D.C.
September 17, 1951
Dear Mr. President,
Every time I spend a weekend with you on
the "Williamsburg", I return with a greater appreciation
and understanding of the great human being you are. It
is so reassuring to know that as long as we are right as
a nation or as an individual, we will always win.
Your kindness and friendship are worth so
much to me that I couldn't resist this time writing you
a letter and telling you so. Your extra courtesy of
getting up and having breakfast with me before letting
me off at Quantico really made me try to put my lasting
gratitude on paper.
All I can say is that I hope that in
some way I may be able to repay you for all you have
done for me.
Respectfully,
flos
George E'. Allen
The Honorable Harry S. Truman
President of the United States
Washington, D. C.
