TLS as president, one page, 8 x 10.5, White House letterhead, April 14, 1941. Letter to Herbert L. Adams, in part: "I have your letter of March thirty-first concerning traffic congestion on 14th Street south of Independence Avenue and have noted with considerable interest the suggestions therein. I have included in the District of Columbia budget for 1942 authority, including initial funds, for constructing a grade separation structure at 14th Street and Maine Avenue…The work will also involve extensive road relocation that will entirely separate the park traffic from the through or city traffic. Study is now being made of the practicability of including in this project an underground street car terminal in 14th Street with below street entrances to the Bureau of Engraving and the Department of Agriculture. Upon completion of the above described work it will be possible to reduce the number of traffic lights on 14th Street south of Constitution Avenue…The District Commissioners are of the opinion that when this work is completed traffic conditions in this general area will be materially improved and most, if not all, of the congestion removed." In fine condition, with a rusty paperclip impression to the top edge.
