      My Dear Franklin,
 
      
 
 
I was indeed touched by your kind present. It is a beautiful 
      bowl, and I shall always treasure it as a reminder of our sunlit 
      days in Teheran and of the most memorable of my Birthdays.
 
      
 
 
I cannot thank you enough for all your friendship and support 
      in the years in which we have worked together, and I am glad 
      of this occasion to send you a message of sincere affection and 
      gratitude.
 
      
 
 
The President of the United States of America.
