Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt
The White House
Washington, D.C.                                            
         
 
Dear Franklin:
 
              I have prepared the petition and account of 
the Trustees of the trust created under your father's Will 
for the benefit of your mother from the figures furnished 
me, and have submitted the same to the Fulton Trust Company 
and the Bankers Trust Company, as one of the Executors of
your brother's Will.
 
              You will remember that you are entitled to 
one-half of this fund and your brother's estate to the other
half thereof. J. R. Roosevelt, Jr. takes no part thereof.
 
              There has been criticism from the Bankers
Trust Company regarding the allocation of stock dividends 
and other matters.
  
               I will be glad to prepare a waiver and
approval of all acts of all the Trustees to be signed by
you and Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Robinson and your children
because they are entitled to the trust fund set up for
Mrs. Roosevelt after her death. This should do away
with all objections from anysource.
 
               I would like to see you about this matter, if
convenient for you, the next time you are at Hyde Park.
 
                With kindest regards, I am
                           Sincerely yours
                           Henry Hackett
