                    Dear Miss Thompson:                     
 
      The Duchess of Kent has asked the Ambassador's office if we know 
      whether the photograph of young Prince Michael Charles Franklin 
      which she sent to the President reached him safely. Our recollection 
      here is that the photograph was received by the Embassy Just 
      before Mrs. Roosevelt left, and that it was taken back to Washington 
      with her luggage, but no one seems to be absolutely sure. Could 
    you let me know whether it reached the White House safel
                                                            
 
                                                            
 
 
                                                            
If the American Outpost 
      in Great Britain has not sent Mrs. Roosevelt direct a copy of 
      a recent bulletin of theirs containing an article based on her 
      brief visit to University College, Oxford, it might interest 
              her to see it. I am enclosing a copy.         
                                                            
 
                                                            
 
 
                                                            
With renewed good wishes, 
                              I am,                         
 
                         Yours sincerely,                   
 
                                                            
 
                      Miss Malvina Thompson,
