THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 31, 1945 friends fill to & eachs
Dear Mrs. Roosevelt:
Inceed I feel very much
indebted to you for letting us have
all that food. It was a great help.
I have thought of you so
often, realizing how much you must
have to do in sorting out your many
belongings and in the great accumula-
tion which followed you from here.
Even moving from an apartment seemed
to bring to light any number of
possessions, and I an appalled to
think of what you must have faced
after living for twelve years in the
one place.
If you plan to be in
Washington at any tine I hope you
will let me know so that I may see
you again. It is something that I
alweys look forward to. Thank you
for your note and I hope that even
your capable hands are not being
overwhelmed with work.
Sincerely
Ress yours, W. Primar
