She does not say what Secy and Mrs. Wickard gave and I do not know who William 18 who gave playing cards. I'll send the list back to you as soon as I have a chance to ask Mrs. R. I have indicated where Mrs. Roosevelt has already written as the gifts were addressed to both of them. Malvina PSF THE WHITE HOUSE Christmas WASHINGTON Dear Grace: Mrs. Roosevelt does not remember what Sec and Mrs. Wackard gave 80 she 1s thanking for a lovely Christmas gift.

Dear Mr. President: You once said: "The only thing to fear is fear." I believe that, now as then. If we in this land keep our chins up and our eyes open, if we give what we have to give, if we go all out for the things worth dying and living for -- all will be well with the past of our ancestors and the future of our youth. So, with all the millions of others, I wish you, despite the state of the world, a merry Christmas and a bright New Year. Whether the road be long or short, we will march with you, jubilantly, to the end of it -- and may God guide our feet. Yours, Walter Trumbull PSF Christmas H. A.
