Berlin, November 23, 1937.
 
 
Dear Mr. President:
 
 
 I have a letter from the University of North Carolina indicating that
Ambassador Josepheus Daniels is managing a big anniversary meeting at
Chapel Hill, and the man in charge has asked me if I would drop you a
note and say that they are very anxious to have you make an address on
the
occasion, which will be next May. Perhaps you have heard from them
already.
 
 
  This is a conference of North Carolinians greatly interested in
political affairs before which I made an address last September. I have
the feeling that it would be a very useful thing if you could possibly
accept their invitation. Public opinion, as revealed in North Carolina
at the time I was there, especially at the University and also at
Raleigh, is very much more up-to-date than it used to be and very
sympathetic with your efforts to readjust the affairs of our country.
People showed also a great interest in international affairs. I am
therefore writing you as per the request I have just received.
 
 
With all regards,
 
 
Sincerely yours,
William E. Dodd
 
 
The President,
The White House,
Washington, D.C.
