THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

August 17, 1935.

My dear Mr. Pound:

Mrs. Roosevelt and her secretary
are away for the summer, and in their absence
I have been asked to acknowledge their mail.
I shall bring your book to Mrs. Roosevelt's
attention as soon as possible.

I know, however, that Mrs. Roosevelt
would wish me to thank you for this book
you so kindly sent.

Mr. Ezra Pound
