Enclosed is a note from lirs . Roosevelt received here this morning. /b'. Bro"Mllolf sa,ys he thinks you should try to go to the premier if it is possible.

We received a letter from Yr. Walker toda,y" enclosing a letter and contri­bution from Judge Rosenman. Judge Rosenman 1 s check is in the amount of $721. 51 which he sqs is the amount of royalties received for the years 1943 thru 1946 from JJacm1 11 an & Co. on the Second Set of the Pllblic Papers and Addresses of F.D.R.

Mr. Brownlow talked with JAr. Walker today, and),[r. Walker told him he was going t o send us five or six thousand t o hold us over until he returned from his western trip.

Things here at the office are slowi.ng dO"Ml now that we have gotten all the letters out to the members of the Board of Directors and have just about finished getting letters, copies of our financial reports, and etc., ready for Mr. Brownlow to take with him when he leaves us t omorrow. I guess next week will real )y be a quiet and lonely one for Miss Beverid&"e and ~self.

You are very fortunate to be away from Vlashington thess days . We have rea) l y been having a tlhot time" of it here this past week . J.I.r. BrownloTI says he will be glad to get to ~acuse. I hope you are enjoying eome cool breezes and are getting some rest.

Best regards from all. of us. ~z,. -~

P.S. I am enclos ing a little present which I havs just received. from. our new accounting department. Also, a note from William O. Douglas which just arrived.
