Constance Elsie Gracie asks President Roosevelt for the favor of a quick meeting on behalf of “a very tired officer” and “will give peace and happiness to a number of people.” She and her husband, Archibald Gracie, are currently in town and have received a guided tour of the White House, although Constance remembers it well from when she visited as a child.
