My dear Miss Tully:
 
                                         Since the death of
Mrs. Roosevelt the various insurance agents have sent to me
all of their insurance policies covering both the property
of the President and of his mother's estate and I have paid
their bills as far as the bank balance here would permit.  
 I have sent some of the bills, especially on the
Campobello property, to Mr. Morris for him to pay and
charge against the President's share of the estate.
 
Twice Mr. Luckey has sent bills bothto the President and to
me, which I have already paid, but each time he has endorsed
over the President's checks so I could deposit the money
back in the bank account here.
 
                                        On October 5 I paid
a bill for $43.94 to Mr. Luckey, being the premium on the
following policies:
 
#A65638 Hanover Fire Ins. Co. , $6.00 and #
                                                          z 
             AC436088 United
States Fidelity and Guaranty Co., $37.94, each policy
covering the Ford Phaeton.
 
Today he has handed to me a check of the President dated
October 15, drawn for $43.94 in payment of the premiums on
these policies, which he has endorsed to me.    I have
asked Mr. Luckey not to send,in the future, bills to both
the President and to me.
 
                                        When you have a
chance, will you please bring this matter to the attention
of the President so that he will understand what is going
on. 
 
                                        Also, will you
please remind him that we have purchased another 1/6
interest in the Lent wood lot from Mrs. Lewis.
 
                                        Sincerely yours,
