MST-56 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 14, 1947 fle My dear Mrs. Roosevelt: You don't know how very much I appreciated your beautiful letter of sympathy dated August ninth. Of course, just as you say, we always feel somewhat lost after an experience of the sort through which we have just gone, but we have to adjust ourselves according to the situation as we find it. The sympathy of our friends is one of the things that makes it bearable. I certainly appreciate your writing me as you did. Singerely yours, Mrs. Franklin D Roosevelt Val-Kill Cottages Hyde Park, Dutchess County New York
