Dear Missy:
 
          Enclosed please find a small check to the order 
of the President.
 
          It is impossible for me to determine the increase 
in taxes, the insurance, or anything of that nature, if you 
and Mr. Hackett do not get into accord.
 
          So far both the President and I have been paying 
insurance premiums on what might be a duplication of risk. 
If we could settle down and determine the insurance premium,
 
I prefer to have it paid through Mr. Hackett, and I shall
refund the amount so paid to you. By this means only could
we be certain that there is no duplication of insurance in
force.
 
          The enclosed check is purposely made small in
order 
that you give this matter some attention now that
inauguration 
is over.
 
                                       Sincerenly,
                                       Hall Roosevelt
