Apartment 15-A 29 Washington Square, West New York Gity II February 1, 1947 Dear Mr. President: I have no idea whether the British people who are planning the memorial to my husband, will ask you to send some one to represent you when the statue will be unveiled in April, 1948. I have been invited and unless some- thing unforeseen happens, I plan to attend. If you should be asked to send some one, I wonder 1f you would be willing to consider sending my husband's old friend and early law partner, Major Henry S. Hooker? He is most anxious to go because of the early connection and many years of friendship. I agreed to send you this note on the chance that a request would be made. I have tried not to ask you for favors but this is one request that I did not feel able to refuse. Very cordially yours, Thera Rescause
