HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON TLS AS FIRST LADY TO ROOSEVELT SECRETARY MOLLIE D. SOMERVILLE: "IF YOU EVER WANT TO VISIT YOUR FORMER HAUNTS, I WOULD LIKE TO HOST YOU," AUGUST 7, 1995 paired with Somerville's book "Eleanor Roosevelt as I Knew Her;" reads: "Dear Ms. Somerville: How kind of you to write and share with me some of your memories and experiences at the White House when Mrs. Roosevelt was First Lady. Although never privileged to meet her, of course, I do feel I have come "know" her by extensively reading about her -- through writings of others as well as her own. I have begun writing my column with an eagerness and enthusiasm to communicate with people all across our great nation. The subject matter will vary widely, as did Mrs. Roosevelt's, and I am hopeful it will prove to be an effective vehicle for greater understanding of issues and the roles individuals can play in resolving them, for giving readers an opportunity to see things from a somewhat different perspective, and for encouraging dialogue. With best regards and gratitude for your contributions in this place many years ago, I am Sincerely yours, [Signature: Hillary Rodham Clinton] Hillary Rodham Clinton [Handwritten Postscript]: If you ever would wish to visit your former haunts, I would like to host you.
