HST-133 TRUMAN THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON February 2, 1952 Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: I can't tell you how very much I appreciated your letter of January twenty-ninth from the Hotel Crillon in Paris. My recollection of that great Hotel is of Woodrow Wilson who walked down the front steps while I looked on as a spectator. I also appreciate very much what you have to say about the Vatican situation and I am giving it a great deal of thought. I hope we can get it worked out without creating a religious con- troversy. I don't know whether we can or not but I expect to try. I am always glad to hear from you and to have your frank statements of your opinion. Sincerely yeurs you are doing a band jot! Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt The Park Sheraton Hotel 202 Fifty Sixth Street West New York 19, New York
