HST-78 THE WHITE HOUSE you WASHINGTON August 10, 1948 Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: After reading your letter of August sixth, I can fully appreciate all that you have to do before your departure for Paris for the Third Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations. Of course, I had hoped that it would be possible for you to ac- copt appointment as one of the Special Ambassadors to represent the United States at the Golden Jubilee of Queen Wilhelmina of The Netherlands and the Coronation of Princess Juliana, but I quite understand why you feel that you must decline. I an more grateful than I can say for your thoughtfulness in sending me a copy of the full account of the Ceremonies in London at the unveiling of the Memorial to President Roosevelt. This particular copy will take its place among my treasured papers. Very sincerely yours, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Hyde Park, New York.
