Dear Missy,

,

,

Dublin, Ireland. 11th September, 1939.

It seems ten years since the declaration ot War a

week ago. and I know how stunned and sickened the President

must bave been. Until the invasion or Poland last

Wednesday hope persisted, end many people still believed

~r could be averted.

But I got thoroughly ted up and irritated w1th tbe

type who always told you "there's not going to be any

War; I Just teel it ". I ~ not get any satisfaction

over being one ot the "Itold-you-sos", but tor five

year s I perSistently took the gloomy view that a general

War 1n Europe wa9 inevitable.

Some of the stories ot the Atbenla survivors were

enough to make you weep . F~111es were separated, and

there were many afflicting scenes that brought the Cbr very close. Then too, I have strong personal tetlings

over the whole thing, tor I spent tour years in Poland

and

Kiss Margaret 1e Band, The White House,

Washingt on.

and know the country from end to end.

I know t he President 1s working hours without

end these days, and I am the las t one in the world

to bother him with anything unnecessary, but do you

think you could ge t him to sign a note something

like the enclosed? It was r eally impressive the

way the Galway authorities handled four hundred and

thirty people/homeless and destitute, suddenly pro-

Jected into their midst. I think it would be

a very tine thing if the President would record

our gratitude. I know it would belp Irish- American

relations a great dea l .
