TLS as president, one page, 8 x 10.5, White House letterhead, October 6, 1953. Letter to Mrs. Robert Howe Baldwin, in full: "I appreciate your letter of September twenty-second and thank you for the expressions of confidence it contains. It is a fitting testimonial to the democratic process under which we live that a citizen, alert to the world forces at work today, is willing to make a personal tour to gain first-hand impressions of the prominent leaders who are influencing world events.
Much as I should like to talk to you about your findings, there simply is not a suitable vacant spot on my calendar at the moment. If you would care to put your observations in an informal memorandum, I should look forward to its reading. Perhaps then after I fulfill a number of engagements during October and early November but well before the convening of Congress, we might be able to set aside an hour at a time when you could find it convenient to be in the city. Should it come about this way, I would be glad to have the more intimate report that would be possible in an informal conversation.
Again, thank you for your public-spirited willingness to investigate matters of concern to us all. I am sure that if all of our people had your intelligent interest in the international situation and your awareness of its bearing on our daily lives, our task would be much easier. Please remember me kindly to your brother." In fine condition.
