TEXAS EASTERN BUILDING
SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA
December 1, 1949
Dear Mr. President:
I have received from Mr. Winslow a set
of the latest drawings of the White House Recon-
struction, and it is my opinion that the arrange-
ment is excellent. I am sure that you will be
more comfortable without the temporary bracing
and am confident that you will be well pleased with
the final results. The drawings indicate thorough
study and from information which I have received,
there will be improvements in the interior design
of the East Room and the State Dining Room.
I hope you are enjoying your well-earned
vacation at Key West and that the Christmas Season
will be most happy for you.
I am leaving in January for a six weeks'
tour of the Mediterranean and would like very much
to stop off for a few minutes visit with you for
old times sake on my return.
With very best wishes, I am
Sincerely,
TROMAN
