August 14, 1947 4.28 My dear Mrs. Fischer: I have for acknowledgment your letter of recent date and wish it were possible to com- ply with your request for the President's auto- graph. Unfortunately, however, during these busy days when the pressure upon his time is 80 great it has become necessary for the President to sus- pend the practice of autographing. I know that you will understand. Very sincerely yours, MATTHEW J. CONNELLY Secretary to the President Mrs. O. H. Fischer, Earlville, x Illinois. Ret'd self-addressed stamped envelope vb
