My dear Mr. Janssen:
I always had the highest admiration for the late Nathan Straus and when plans for a suitable memorial to his memory reach the stage where all are agreed as to what it shall be, I shall be glad to help further that project.
I appreciate warmly your pleasant personal references.
Yours faithfully,
HERBERT HOOVER
