Mres. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELY EAST EIND STREET NEW YORK a1, N. Y. Tel-Aviv, Israel March 26, 1955 Dear Mr. President: I wanted to tell you that in Israel I was shown the village which was named after you and which is now a thriving settlement, and every- where I heard the hope expressed that you would be coming over here before long. I think you would find it an extremely interesting country with many problems. While here I have been constantly re- minded of the fact that my busband told me at one time that these Eastern countries had 80 many problems that he would like to come here after he retired and try to help solve them. I protested at the time that we had enough problems of our own but I felt I would find myself travelling to this part of the world and spending a good deal of time here. I think Franklin would have found Israel a rather exhilirating spot. Hoping you are feeling well and my best wishes to Mrs. Truman and Margaret. Cordially yours, Plean Rossult
