85-Q
January 2, 1947
Dear Mr. Winant:
I have read carefully your letter of December nineteenth
and note the considerations which prompt your desire to relinquish
work as United States Representative on the Economic and Social
Council. The work of organization and coordination in which you
assisted being almost completed, I feel that in justice to you I
should comply with your request. Accordingly, I accept your
resignation effective at the close of business on January 10, 1947.
I regret to have you leave the service of the Government.
For almost a decade you have served with distinction in various
posts of responsibility both at home and abroad and by that service
have earned the right to return to private pursuits. I am sure that
both Secretary Clayton and Senator Austin will regret, as I do, the
loss of your invaluable counsel and cooperation.
With best wishes for your continued health and happiness,
Very sincerely yours,
