August 31, 1948

Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial Foundation 810 E:!.ghteenth street, N. W. Jaltlington 6, D.C.

Dcar Idss Tully:

I enclose the material you asked tor in your l etter of the 27th .

In regard to your first question about the Presidentl. speech of October 5. 1937, our speech file has yielded only one draft in addi t10n to the original and carbcr\ copy. '!he ribbon copy (original) i. not marked "Reading Copy" nor does it have the usual interlineat10ns and correcticms in F.D. R.' s handwriting. but pre­sumabl y this is the one from which he read when the speech "as delivered. In addition to Ule copy labeled "Dratt," there are two partial drafts prepared by Nor man H. Davis. portions of which were apparently incorporated in the final speech .

Whi l !! we are on the subject ot the President's speeches, may I ask whether you have a copy of the li st which was prepared in the Whi te House (I believe) *howing the disposi tion of the reading copies which F .D.R. gave a"ay? 'He have been unable to find a copy of this list here , and it would be most useful in running down bibliographical information about the various speeches . It you do have a cop.y. would it be possible for us to borrow it for a short time?

It 1s verry good to be back at the Library again and it will be even pleasan teo "hen I ge t ~ family here again. I am Koin!: dO'll"ll this week end to drive them back . Hope you survived the recent heat wave L

Sincerely, ""7 ~..» ~.;.,

You r ealize I am aure that throughout the worl d hundreds or

millima or hum'n beings are living today in constant fear or a

new war or even a eeriea of ware.

The existence of Ws rear-.and the possibility of euch a

con!lict-is of defini te concern to the people of the Uni ted States

for whom I speak, as it must alao be to the peoplee of the other

nations of the entire Western Hemisphere . All of thea know that

any major war, even 1f it were to be cmfined to other ccntinente,

muat bear heavily at them during 1 ta continuance _ and al so for

generations to come.

Because of the fact that after the acute tension in which the

world has been 11 ving during the paat few weeks there would seem.

to be at l east a momentary rel axation- because no troops are at

thie moment on the march- this may be an opportune moment for me

to send you thie meeeage .

On a preTioua occaaion I have addressed you in behalf of the

aettlement or political, economic, and social problems by peacef'ul

methode and without resort to aru.

But the tide of evente eeema to haTe reverted to the threat

of arma. It auch threa tlI con tinue, it Beeme ineTi table tha t IlUcb

of the 'World must become in.,ol .... d in common ruin. All the 'World,

Tictor nation., vanquiehed Datima, and neutral natiooa will sutfer.

I refuae to believe tbat the 'World la. of necearlty, auch a prisoner

of deaUny. On the contrary, it 111 clear that the leader. of great

nations have it in their power to tiberato. their people. !roc the

diauter t.lotat impenda. It ill equall7 cle&1' that in their awn mnds

and in their own hearta the peoplu the.adna desire that their

teara be ended.

It ill, howe..-er. untortW'lately necellllarJ to talce cognhance of

receD t tac til.

1hree naUone in Europe and one in Urica have aeen their

independent existence terminated. A vaet territory in another

independent nation of the Far !aat he. been occupied by a neighbor­

inl atate . Reporta, which we truat are Dot true, inaist that

further act. of aggre8l5ion are cmtemplCloted ag&1nat aUll other

independent Mticorll'!. Plainly the world 1& moTing toward the

lIIoment when thia al tuaUon muat end In catastrophe W'lleaa a aore

You have repeatedly asserted that you and the German people have

no desire for war. If this is true there need be no war.

Nothing can persuade the peoples of the earth that any govemin;;:

power has any right or need to inflict the consequences of war on its

own or any other people save in the cause of self-evident home defenlle.

In making this statement we as Americans speak not through self-

iahnesa or fear or weakness. If we speak now it is with the voice of

strength and with friendship for mankind. It is still clear to me

that international problems can be solved at the council table.

It is therefore no answer to the plea for peaceful discussion

for one side to plead that unless they receive assurances beforehand

that the verdict will be theirs. they -,,111 not lay asiee the1:r arms.

In conference roams. as in courts. it 1s necessary that both sides

enter upon the discussion in good fa1 th, assuming that substantial

justice will accrue to both; and 1t 1s custo~ry and necessary that

they leave their arms outside the room where they confer.

I ~ convinced that the cause of world peace would be greatly

advanced if the nations of the world were to obtain a frank state-

ment relating to the present and future policy of govern;nents .

Because the Uni ted States , as one of the nations of the Western

Hemisphere, is not involved in the immediate controversies which

have arisen in Europe , I trust that you lUy be willing to make such

a statement of policy to me as the head of a nation far removed froID.

Europe in order that I, acting only with the responsibility and

obligation of a friendly intermediary~ may communicate :!uch

declaration to other nations nOlf apprehensive as to the course

lIhich the policy of your Government may take .

Are you willing to give assurance that your armed forces

will not attack or invade thet territory or possessions of the

following independent nationa, Finland, Estonia, Latvia,

IJ.thuania, Sweden , Norway, Denmark , the Netherl ands, Bel gium.

Great Sri ta1n and Ireland . Francs. portugal , Spain, Swi berland,

Liechtenstein . Luxemburg , Poland , Hungary , Rnmania, Yugoslavia ,

Russia , Bulgaria, Greece , TUrkey, Iraq , the Arabiaa . Syria ,

Palestine , Egypt and Iran .

Such an assurance clearly must appl y not only to the present

day but also to a future aufficlen~ long to give every oppor-

t:.urd ty to wor k by peaceful methods for a more permanent peace .

I therefore suggest that you construe the 'IIord QUO'JE future UN-

QUOTE to apply to a minimum period of assured non-aggression--

• ten years at the l east--a quarter of a century, if we dare l ook

tha t far ahead.

If such as~urance is given by your Government, I wil l

immediately transmit it to the governments of the nations I

have named and I will simultaneously inquire whether , a8 I am

reasonably sure , each of the nations enUlllerated above will in

turn give like assurance for transmission to you .

Work goes slowly there , as always with the Park Service , but it is reasonable hope that the site will be opened to the public by Mrs . Roosevelt ' s centenary in 1984.

~llle and ~urt have recently been working with their half - brother, Johnny Boett1ger. to hold a first - ever family reunion of tbe Roosevelt grandchildren at Val ­Kill on October 11 next , when the site will be formally established in ceremonies involving the Park Service and the family. Additionally there will be a gathering of Roosevelt friends and your presence on the occasion would add a great deal to it , if you were able to make the trip. Let this , then , be a formal invitation from all of us to attero these ceremonies and an informal commitment to do everything we can to ease your pas­sage here if you are able to accept it .

With every gOOd wish,

Very sincerely yours,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 _ Sitting In her filvorite Washington restaurant re­cently, a string of pearls around her neck, her nails lightly poJislied and her scarlet lipstick matching her shoes, Grace Tully talked about the binhday she i5 not lookln& forward 10 wit h any joy. She will be 80 years old next Satur­"y.

On the other hand, she said, " I'm &lad to be alive."

Tbe woman who was F ranklin Delano Roosevelt's secretary for 17

" In my book," she sa id, ber blue eyes sparkling, "there is no one w ho ean :ompare with the boss."

"Buzzle comes down once In a .. hile," she sa.ld, " and I'm baYing luncb with SlstJe and Franklin's second wile, Sue. on Wednesday."

Miss Grace G. Tully 3000 Connecticut Avenue N. IO[ , Washington , D. C. 20008

Dear Miss Tully :

Old Albany POSI Road Hyde Park, New York 12538

~ Thank you so much for your kind letter of October 4 concerning your collection of notes-rrom President Roosevelt and your plans to see to their preservation . I quite understand and sympathize with your decision to keep them by ou for you r lifetime

know . Meanwhile we are your safe - keeping . X

in

Everybody was so sorry that you were not able to attend the grand family reunion here on October 10- 11 . Seven ­teen grandchildren came (out of twenty - two) , half of them with their spouses , p l us about fifteen gpeat - grandchildren r anging i n age from twenty - nine to three ! Including three of the four sons -- Elliott was unable to come -- there was on hand a grand total of no less than forty - five Roosevelts -- a sight to strike fear into the hearts of all Republicans l

Another Sixty-five distant relatives , fam i liars and friends joined them at the picnic at Val - KilIan Satur ­day . A cold , bluste~ rain dampened bodies though not spirits and the scene was much enlivened by a competition between franklin , Jr . and Johnny as to who could carve turkey as thinly as the President did . As a non - parti ­cipant in the competition Jimmy adjudged it a draw ! I enclose copies of the press coverage of this occasion , in case you missed it in The Times , and also in our local newspaper .

The Dutchess County winter is near upon us, now , and we are hoping for a hard one this year to help us deal with the dreadful infestation by Gypsy Moths which well nigh stripped our oak trees last June; a recurrence next year could endanger their survival. When spring comes we may hope to arrange for you to visit us , however . Ellie Seagraves comes here occasionally for Board meetings of the local group which is looking to use the Val - Kill site as a living memorial to Mrs . Roosevelt and it might be possible to tie in your visit with one of hers . I very much hope so .

With every gOOd wish,

Very sincerely yours,

Mrs . C.R. Larrabee 4801 Connecticut Avenue NW Washington, D. C. 20008

Dear Mrs . Larrabee :

Old Albin), PoBI Road Hyde Parle, New Vorl.: 12Me

Thank you so much for your kind letter of March 6 con­

cerning my correspondence with your sister in 1980 .

You were correct in your assumption that your sister

had wr itten me in longhand and I enclose , as you

requested , an electrostatic copy of her letter of

October 4 , 1980 to me. I hope this will round out your

collection on the matter and I want to take this oppor ­

tunity to express , again , the Library ' S interest in

getting either the originals or , if deSired, copies of

them when you have been able to make a decision on the

matter .

Of course we were aware of your role in the White House

of those days and the frequent references to it made in

your sister's book, " FOR: My Boss " . In tbe discharge

of our archival duties we all gradually over time become

" acquainted" with the people who served FDR and often

feel as though we knew you even never having met you .

When next my occasions bring me to Washington I hope to

be able to repair that deficiency .
