My dear Mr. Secretary:-
At the request of the President of the United
States, I have taken from the files of the late President Roosevelt
the enclosed papers relating to the atomic bomb, which he directed
me to send to you.
The late President received reports from time
to time from Dr. Bush but these were returned to Dr. Bush as soon
as the President had read them. On a few occasions, the President
directed me to give certain reports and correspondence, sent to
him by Dr. Bush, to Admiral Brown to lock up in the safe in the
Map Room. I understand from Commander Elsey that these were all
returned to the War Department.
With my very kindest regards,
Always sincerely,
Grace G. Jully
The Honorable
The Secretary of State,
Washington, D. C.

Dear Miss Tully:
I have received a letter dated September 28, 1945, from Earle R. Koons of
the law firm of O'Connor and Farber of New York City wherein Mr. Koons requests
on behalf of the Executors of the Estate of Franklin D. Roosevelt that I permit
you to deliver to the President of the United States, or his designated repre-
sentative, at the White House, the papers withdrawn from the files of the late
Franklin D. Roosevelt now at the National Archives for storage and safekeeping
and more particularly described in a list attached to his letter entitled "List
of Papers Removed from the Files of the Late Franklin D. Roosevelt at the Re-
quest of the President of the United States, dated September 18, 1945." I have
also received letters dated September 20, 1945, from James Roosevelt and Henry T.
Hackett, two of the Executors of the Estate of Franklin D. Roosevelt, authorizing
me to permit the removal of any papers now held at the National Archives for the
Estate of Franklin D. Roosevelt upon the written request of either Basil O'Connor
or Earle R. Koons and upon the one making the request certifying therein that the
withdrawal sought is at the instigation of the President of the United States or
of the Executors of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Estate. The above-mentioned letter
from Earle R. Koons certifies that the delivery of the papers described in the
list attached thereto is being made at the instigation and request of the Presi-
dent of the United States as contained in a letter to the Executors dated
September 18, 1945. In the last sentence of his letter, the President states:
"I shall ensure that any documents made available to Justice Jackson or members
of his staff, at the White House, will be returned to the National Archives as
soon as they have been examined."
In view of the authorisations contained in the above-mentioned letters from
Messrs. Roosevelt, Hackett, and Koons, you are hereby given permission to withdraw
from the records of the Estate of Franklin D. Roosevelt now on deposit in the
National Archives Building for storage and safekeeping those papers described in
the list attached to the above-mentioned letter from Mr. Koons, with the under-
standing that all papers so withdrawn will be delivered by you to the President
of the United States, or his authorised representative, at the White House.
Sincerely yours,

Re: Estate of Franklin D. Roosevelt
Miss Grace G. Tully
c/o The Archivist of the United States
National Archives Building
Washington 25, D. 0.
Dear Miss Tully:
Mr. O'Connor has asked me to reply to your letter of
September 27, 1945 and to tell you again how pleased he is with
the good job you did in selecting from Mr. Roosevelt's files the
papers requested by President Truman.
For the purpose of complying with the President's re-
quest, the following letters are enclosed herewith for delivery
to Dr. Buck:
1. Letter dated September 28, 1945 to Dr. Buck on
behalf of the Executors of Mr. Roosevelt's Estate
requesting him to permit you to deliver the papers
in question to the White House and certifying that
the request is made at the instigation of the
President of the United States, together with the
enclosures referred to therein:
(a) List of papers to be removed from the
files and delivered to the White House.
(b) Copy of President Truman's letter to
the Executors dated September 18, 1945.
2. Letters dated September 20, 1945 to Dr. Buck signed
by James Roosevelt and Henry T. Hackett, respect-
ively, authorizing the removal of Mr. Roosevelt's
papers from the Archives upon the request and
certification of either Mr. 0' O'Connor or me (an
identical letter signed by Mr. 0' Connor was pre-
viously transmitted to Dr. Buck).
Miss Grace G. Tully
- 2 -
September 28, 1945
In order that the record may be clear as to just what
papers are covered by the authorization, it was deemed advisable
to attach the list to the authorization. Dr. Buck would undoubted-
ly be inclined to go through the material and check it in any
event and is entitled to the list for his records.
If you will deliver the foregoing letter to Dr. Buck, he
11
will undoubtedly grant you the necessary permission to remove the
papers from the Archives. You will note that President Truman
in his letter requests that the papers in question be delivered
to the White House. Since you kindly volunteered, I believe it
would be better if you could deliver the papers to the White House
personally, and, at the same time obtain a receipt for the records
in such form as Dr. Buck may prescribe and providing for the re-
turn of the papers to the Archives after they have been examined
by Justice Jackson or the officials designated by him. The
President, at your request, will undoubtedly designate someone
to receive the papers, sign for them and see to it that they are
returned.
Sincerely yours,
Earle Korna
Encls.
October 2, 1945.
I have this day received at the White House from Miss Grace 0.
fully the papers, requested w the President of the United States in
a letter to the Executors of the Setate of Franklin D. Receivelt,
dated September 18, 1945, which are described on the attached lists:
1. List of papers removed from the files
of the late Franklin D. Receevelt, at
the request of the President of the
United States, October 2. 1945 (5 pages)
2. Summer Wellow' Report (2 pages)
In accordance with the President's letter, referred to above,
these papers will be returned to the files of Franklin D. Receivelt
when they have served their purpose.

Senator Ferguson has submitted several requests for further

request he is inquiring whether a proposed message from the
British Government to the Japanese Government was ever received

It will be appreciated if you will furnish us with whatever
information is available in the late President Roosevelt's
files in answer to the requests of Senator Ferguson, at the
