ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE                                              WASHINGTON                                                       
 
 
August 21, 1936.
 
 
 
Dear Mr. President:
 
 
I would not send you the enclosures
except for Dr. Dodd's evident desire to have
you know about his predecessor's performance
in Germany.
 
 
The Department hears only praise of the
work done by our officials in Spain in taking
care of American citizens and property, and I do
not believe there will be any dispraise of the
note to the Minister of Uruguay, which was the result of a great deal of careful consideration.
 
 
I hope you are enjoying more comfortable weather at Hyde Park than now prevails in Washington, where it is wretchedly hot.
 
 
Yours very sincerely,
(signature)

From Ambassador
Dodd.
The President,
Hyde Park, New York.
