Apartment 15-A
29 Waubington Square, West
New York Gity 11
May 16, 1947
Dear Mr. President:
Because of the various things I have
heard, I am sending you this note.
I know that it was my husband's wish
and intention that all of his papers
should eventually be in the Library
at Hyde Park. He particularly did
not want them left in the Archives
in Washington or in the Library of
Congress because he felt that con-
centration in one place was very
unwise. He also felt that they
would be more available to historians
in the library at Hyõe Park and I am
sure they will be.
Ps.
I hope you will not mind my telling
you this, but I feel 80 strongly
that in this one particular I would
like to see his wishes carried out,
that I am expressing what I have
heard my husband say over and over
again.
Very cordially yours,
Then Trushult
