My dear Mr. Kendall:
Unfortunately your request
came in so late that Mrs. Truman's
calendar is completely filled with
engagements for every Saturday and
Sunday until she leaves for the west.
She is therefore sorry that she
cannot have the pleasure of arrang-
ing for a picnic lunch at the White
House this spring.
May I suggest that you
write early in the autumn to ascer-
tain if it will be possible for
Mrs. Truman to arrange this when
she returns to Washington?
Very sincerely yours,
Mrs. J. M. Helm
Secretary to Mrs. Truman
Mr. Ernest L. Kendall
Principal
Capitol Page School
U. S. Capitol
Washington 25, D. C.
