COPY -- Original letter is on file at the Truman Presidential Library

April 7, 1952

My dear Mr. Stanton:

Thank you for your kind letter of March thirty-first. The renovation of the White House was a tremendous undertaking, but now that it has been completed I think everyone is rather pleased with the result.

Knowing the problems encountered, I feel that all of those who collaborated on the project have reason to be proud of the accomplishment. I join with you in being appreciative of the contribution of your past President, Mr. Douglas Orr.

Very sincerely yours, HARRY S. TRUMAN

Mr. Glenn Stanton,
President,
The American Institute of Architects,
208 Southwest Stark Street,
Portland 4, Oregon.
