January 20, 1947 82-7 My dear James: I am indeed sorry that ve cannot do as you ask in your letter of January sixth. The President is so busy with urgent official duties that it is simply impossible for him to comply with the numerous requests for autographed photo- x72-7 graphs. I know that you will understand. Very sincerely yours, MATTHEW J. CONNELLY Secretary to the President James Fossum, 1511 Broadway, Everett, Washington. vb
