Dear Mr, Shipman:
 
Elliott and I are going to try to get out a book of letters
written by husband. Many of the ones we plan to use we now
have in our possession but want to look at those in the
library to see whether there are any we would like to use.
 
Could you ask Miss Suckley or someone to get them together
for Elliott whenever he has time to go to the Library? He
could not do the work there and would have to be allowed to
take the letters away for while,
 
                                    Very cordially yours,
 
                                 /S/ Eleanor Roosevelt
