TLS as president, one page, 8 x 10.5, White House letterhead, October 27, 1941. Letter to Congressman Michael J. Kirwan of Ohio, in full: "Reference is made to your letter of September 25, 1941, in which you further discuss the importance to the National Defense Program of the industrial area in the vicinity of Youngstown, Ohio, and urge the immediate construction of the Berlin and Mosquito Creek Dams for flood control and water conservation in order that the operations of the important industrial establishments in that region may not be curtailed by floods or by lack of water. This matter has been fully investigated and, upon the recommendation of the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engineers, I am submitting to Congress a supplemental estimate in the amount of $2,335,000 for initiating and carrying forward, during the fiscal year 1942, the construction of the Berlin Dam and Reservoir on the Mahoning River." In fine condition, with light creasing and handling wear.
