My dear Tumulty
I am obliged for your letter of the 10th, and am returning the inclosures herewith.
I do not think it would be entirely in accord with food conservation policies, in view of the shortage of sugar, for the President to accept even so attractive a gift.
Yours faithfully,
[Herbert Hoover]
