3130 P STREET N W February 20,1947 Dear Charlie: A very dear cousin of mine has begged me to get some facts about Romania to someone close to the President, SO of course I turn to you. My cousin is Mrs. Gunther, whose husband was our Minister to Romania until he died there in 1942. She has just returned from a visit there of eighteen months, and is greatly con- cerned over conditions. Her story is, that they need a million tons of grain, and that the least they can get along with is four hundred thousand tons over five months. This Government has agreed to seven- teen thousand tons a month, which in five months will amount to only eighty-five thousand, which would seem quite inadequate. Perhaps there is nothing to be done and perhaps the President knows all this already - You will know the ans- wer. My best to you and Florence, Faithfully, Hairy
