Het 119 Trummn,,11 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON to September 2, 1950 Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: I was happy to read a tribute to you in the August 1950 READER'S DIGEST. Belatedly, I send congratulations not only on this appre- ciation by Frances ilhiting but because the DIGEST consented to include it at all. That was surprising in a reactionary publication which looks backward with nostalgia to the good old days when the law of tooth and claw ruled. Very sincerely yours, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Val-Kill Cottage, Hyde Park, New York.
