Re: Visits of Winston Churchill And His Mother, Many Years 
      Ago, To Amenia, New York
 
      
 
 
Dear Mr. President:
 
      I thought you might be interested in the following story.
 
      
 
 
A short while ago, we had an old lady, who formerly lived 
      at Amenia, N.Y., for dinner. She is now over 84 years old but 
      is still spry enough to travel about alone.
 
      
 
 
She told me that she remembers that Mrs. Churchill used to 
      visit at Amenia, when Winston was a baby in a carriage. They 
      were guests at the hotel near the railroad station. Today it 
      is quite out of date but at that time it was considered quite 
      fashionable, as country hotels used to be.
 
      
 
 
Perhaps you are already familiar with the facts. Thinking 
      that possibly you might not be, I decided to write you. Very 
      few people remember things that happened that long ago.
 
      
 
 
Respectfully yours,
 
      s/ Jerome F. P. Tobin
