711/18/47 P. P. F. 3509 November 13, 1947 Dear Mr. Houghton: Thank you very much for your letter of November twelfth telling of your plans to exhibit a replica of the gift of the President and Mrs. Truman's for the wedding of the Princess Elizabeth. It is not possible for the President to xPP7129-A endorse the exhibit since this would be out of line with the invariable policy of the White House. You must simply use your own judgment in the matter. Sincerely yours, CHARLES G. ROSS Secretary to the President Mr. Arthur A. Houghton, Jr., President, Steuben Glass, x 718 Fifth Avenue, New York 19, New York. cgr:mb/gi
