My dear John: received your
letter this morning. am exceeding
ly glad you wrote me about this,
John. because ! do not want the boys
to think 1 am interested in their get
ting a swimming pool. 1 have used
swimming pools myself and there arc
one or two swimming pools in the
creek near Caledonia, Ohio, that l
would like to get into again right
| now IL it were possible.
"Yeu tell the boys 1 hope the ball
| will raise all the money that is need
ed to provide the pool and that II
some of you will come around to the
White House with some tickets I
will buy some whether Iscan attend
