I regret that it will be im- possible to arrange for you to present to the President in person the small bronze donkey which you wish him to have for his birthday. The fact is that, since the begin- ning of the war, we have had to ask the Presi- dent's friends to excuse him from receiving gifts in person, as the great number of de- mands on him during these critical days makes it so difficult for him to find the time for engagements of this kind. I know you under- stand, and will realize that it is not due to any lack of interest on his part. May 1 suggest that, if you will mail the donkey in my care, I shall be glad to see that it reaches him promptly with a suitable word of explanation.
