Dear Hiss Le Hand:
The Ambassador hao asked me to inform you t hat
Monsieur Jacques Charpentier, President or t he P11ri s
Bar Association , is pr oceeding to the Uni t ed States
on a brier visit . Andre Oeraud (Pertinax) has asked
the Aobassador to urge the Pr esident to see Charpentier
when he arrives in ./ashi ngton . The appointz::ent would,
of course , be made through t he Fr ench Embassy .
This note is just t o inform you that if the Pre
s ident should have a lot of free time on his hands one
day (which I doubt), he miF~ht car e to see tlon~ieur
Char pentier; but it is not at all necessary if he is
busy in any •nay .
:lith every good wish and kindest r egards , I r e-
c:ain ,
Very sincerely yours,

I am enclosing an extract from the register of
the Municipal Council of Suresnes , which the Mayor of

Ambassador to forward to the Pres i den t ,
In order to avoi d hurt ing the Senator ' s feelings ,
the Amba ssador sa i d that he would be deligh ted to see
that it reached tbe President , rather then following
our usual custom, which i s to say that the Embassy
cannot ac t as intermediary for the t r ansmission of com-
municetions or gifts to tbe President .
