Dear Henry:
 
           I, too, have heard from Mr. Earle W. 
Newton. As far as I know, he will have no 
connection with the new Library -- in any event 
he seems very anxious to buy and build a house or
else rent one. If he were the usual and reliable 
prospect, I would be willing to put up and rent 
a small house somewhere on the Newbold farm.
 
           I hope to be home next week end.
 
                 As ever yours,
                 Franklin Roosevelt
