Dear Mr. President,
I am taking the liberty of writing
to you about a wedding present for Princess
Elizabeth. The State Department has made
enquiries about a suitable gift.
Mr. Douglas and I wanted to give a
thoroughly American present, and we have
chosen one dozen glass plates made by
Steuben with Audobon birds engraved on them.
At the same time, Mr. Houghton of
Steuben brought an exquisite bowl of truly
American design whi ch I have here. I am
enclosing a picture and its story written by
Mr. Waugh, the designer. The price is $200.
If this interests you I can deliver it
to Buckingham Palace for you. Perhaps your
card and Mrs. Truman's could be sent to me.
If it is not of interest I can return the
bowl to Steuben.
With all best wishes,
Very sincerely,
Fequy 3.Dnlas
