82-7 February 12, 1947 My dear Frances: I am indeed sorry that we cannot do as you ask in your letter to the President. Hp is 80 busy with urgent official duties that it is simply impossible for him to comply with the many requests for his signature which are being received. I know that you will understand. Very sincerely yours, MATTHEW J. CONNELLY Secretary to the President x Frances Florry, 209 N. 80th Street, Bast St. Louis, Illinois. vb
