Dear Mr. President:
I was very much touched to have you
take the trouble to write me that long letter
in longhand about the Russian situation.
Please, if you write again, do have it typed
because I feel guilty to take any of your
time.
I am typing this because I know my
husband always preferred to have things typed
so he could read them more quickly and my
handwriting is anything but legible.
Your experience with Mr. Churchill
is not at all surprising. He is suspicious
of the Russians and they know it. If you
will remember, he said some pretty rough
things about them years ago and they do' not
forget.
Of course, we will have to be
patient, and any lasting peace will have to
have the Three Great Powers behind it. I
think, however, if you can get on a personal
basis with Mr. Churchill, you will find it
easier. If you talk to him about books and
let him quote to you from his marvelous
memory everything on earth from Barbara
Fritche to the Nongsense Rhymes and Greek
tragedy, you will find him easier to deal
with on political subjects. He is a gentle-
man to whom the personal element means a
great deal.
