April 16, 1952 Personal Dear Mr. Delano: I certainly appreciated your good letter of the eleventh. I am happy that you could be present at the luncheon and I am glad you enjoyed it.

Sincerely yours, " RECORDS SERVICE' HARRY S, TRUMAN to Honorable William Adams Delano 120 East Thirty-eighth Street New York 16, New York Envelope was marked personal
