THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
Denver
October 19, 1955
Dear Jessie,
Your beautiful gift to the President for
me is one of the loveliest and most welcome
I could imagine! I have long wished for some
opal earrings, and these are exquisite. The
heart-shaped stone set in diamonds is especially appealing, and I loved the message
to the President which accompanied your gift.
How very unique of you to choose his birth-
stone for me.
You have been wonderfully kind in calling
and going by to see Mother so often. Both
Ike and I are deeply grateful for your thought.
With warmest thanks, and affectionate regard,
Mrs. Dan Thornton
