THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 29, 1947 fir My dear Mrs. Roosevelt: Your letter of September third was waiting for me when I returned from Rio de Janeiro. I am glad that you gave me the benefit of your frank opinion about the national chairmanship, even though Mr. Flynn gave you erroneous information. I sincerely hope that the selection of Senator McGrath, now in process of confirmation, will meet with your approval. Let me assure you once more - if such assurance is necessary -- that I shall always welcome an expression of your views on every aspect of party policy. I set a high value on your judgment. When I see you, if you are interested, I can tell you the reason for Mr. Flynn's pique. He made a recommendation for a judicial appointment which, in all conscience, I could not accept. With every good wish, Always sincerely Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Hyde Park, New York.
