THE WHITE HOUSE DOUGLAS WILLIAM ORR, F.A.I.A. ARCHITECT APR 15 I 43 PM 55 NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT RECEIVED My dear Mr. President: April 14, 1952 Now that the rush of work of completion of The White House is over, I would like to express my very deep appreciation for the honor and privilege of serving on the Commission, as one of your appointees. I would also like to express my sincere appreciation for your helpfulness and patience at times when frustrat- ing circumstances caused delays which seemed inexcusable. The delightful luncheon following the conclusion of the work could not have been more fitting, and it was a great privilege to attend with you the first formal luncheon in the reconstructed building. It is my hope that you and Mrs. Truman will so thoroughly enjoy living there again as to make up for some of the time when you were away. I feel that the improvement to the grounds has been a remarkable operation adding very materially to the appear- ance of the building. With kindest personal regards. Douglas Sincerely, W. Orr U. Only TRUMAN AND SERVICE' Honorable Harry S. Truman President United States of America The White House Washington, D. C.
