P.P.F. 200 July 24, 1947 6-29-47 Pro-A Dear Mr. Ridley: This is in acknowledgment of your letter to the President requesting a message in connection with the national convention of The American Teachers Association, July 20-23. I regret to advise you that your X/07-Misal letter was not received early enough to lay your request before the President in time for his consideration. I am sure you under- stand that the President is working under a very heavy schedule these days. It is, therefore, necessary for him to have at least two weeks notice when a request is made for a message. Very sincerely yours, WILLIAM D. HASSETT Secretary to. the President Mr. Walter N. Ridley, President, X The American Teachers Association, Virginia State College, Petersburg, Virginia. aw-ram
