4		Honorable Marvin H. McIntyre Secretary to the President The White House Washington

5		Dear Colonel McIntyre:

6		I transmit herewith, for your information, a letter I received from Mr. James A. Casey, President of the Vulcan Anthracite Stoker Company and enclosures.

7		I do not know what type heating equipment the President Intends to use in the house in question, but I do know the Republican leadership is circulating a story that he will use oil. This rumor is hurting the cause of the Democratic Party and its candidates in the vast anthracite region in northeastern Pennsylvania.

8		Mr. Casey's offer is therefore transmitted through you for such action as the President may care to take.

9		Very truly yours, Thomas Kennedy Secretary-Treasurer.
