Dear Mr. Roenigk:

Your letter of February fourteenth just received. The parcel post rate to France for gift packages is 6� per pound with a limit of 22 pounds. You must be sure to write on the outside of the package: "U.S. Gift Package." The contents are listed as follows: food, clothing, and essential items. Seeds caused a good deal of controversy, but after research, consultations, and so forth, it was decided they could be shipped, but not on the relief rate of 6� per pound. They have to be shipped parcel post at 14� per pound. I cannot understand how the post office failed to have this information as we all from here send our own personal packages in this manner.

Hoping that this information will be of some use to you,

Very sincerely yours,
