August 19, 1947 82-F My dear Miss Falvey: I am indeed sorry that we cannot do as you ask in your letter to the President. He is so busy these days with the many urgent official matters which confront him that it is not possible for him to take the time to respond to the innumerable requests for his autograph. Because he has had to regretfully H refuse in so many other instances, I feel sure you will realize how difficult it would be to make an exception. Very sincerely yours, MATTHEW J. CONNELLY Secretary to the President Miss Mary Ellen Falvey, 393 Saville Road Mineola, Long Island, New York. vb
