VAl-KILL COTTAGES "VOE PARK. OUTCHESS COUNTY NEw YORK August 17 1937 MiBSY dear: I am writing Ure. Nesbitt of certain changes that have to me m~de this winter ip view of the fact that Elizabeth Henderson will be with us. As 'IOU knol'l tlrs. McDuffie has chaflge of the whole third floor and f:hile she has helped yoll Uabel h:!s always done all your mending and pressing. This coming winter Mabel will do my mending and maiding mending for the President and John and whatever I think neccessary to be done for little Elizabeth. When Mabel is away. Ura. McDu.ffie will have to do whatever is necessary for Elizabeth. She will also have to do all your mending and pressing and if this proves too much for her at anytime I think you had just better get Lillian in for a couple of hours in the afternoon once a week or so and pay her for her time. Does this seem to you a good arrangement? If not let me know and I \'1il1 try to adjust it

MRS F. D. ROOSEVELT D~ar Missy: I sent the letter from Mrs. Bennett and the wire from Mi ss Plastrldge to Miss Falke. If I sent it to Rex she would get it any wayl It might be a good idea in a few days to telephone her and ask if anything has been done as you are writing me and woul d like to report. It might hurry her t We are still enjoying gorgeous weather and feeling very sad as the days go by so rapidly. I do not know how yoll al l hav0 stood the heat - from all r eports it has been pretty terrible. I will see ~'OU on the 17th either at Hyde Park or Washington. Much love. P. S. Were you successful 1n getting the article Marion wanted from the State Department?
