H51-247 Truman,H. he THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON U. s. Naval Station, Key West, Florida. March 25, 1950 Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: Your letter of March tmenty-fourth is a happy reminder that we all love the old songs and the old poems best. THE CALF PATH to which you call my attention is an old favorite. I have read it again since receiving your letter. There is merit in your suggestion that it might be worthwhile to read Sam Walter Foss's lines to some of the Senators. I fear, however, that they have for too long been, "Prone to go it blind Along the calf-paths of the mind." Thanks for your letter which brightened my day. Always sincerely Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, The Park Sheraton Hotel, 202 Pifty Sixth Street West, New York 19, N. Y.
