2		Dear Mr. Roosevelt,

3		As an architecture student I was interested in the president's sketch for his home in Hyde Park. In the spirit of friendly suggestion I took the liberty of making a few changes in the plan. Although it is probably too late for any other considerations, I thought you might be interested in my scheme.

4		Very sincerely yours, Arthur W. Wareham

8		Very sincerely yours, M.A. LeHand PRIVATE SECRETARY
