Rome , Italy, January 11, 1945.               
 
                    Dear Mr. President:                     
 
                                                            
 
 
You may be interested in reading the first summary report of the actual   
distribution of American Relief for Italy contributions which I am   
                    enclosing herewith.                     
 
                                                            
 
 
We are disturbed by the apparent delay in the next shipment which may   
create an interruption in the work in the field which would be unfortunate,   
but which we hope will be expedited so that this condition will not in   
                        fact occur.                         
 
                      Sincerly yours,                       
 
                      Myron C. Taylor                       
 
                         Enclosure:                         
 
                          Report.                           
 
                       The President                        
 
                      The White House
