March I7,1947.
Professor Albert Einstein, Emergency Committee of Atomic scientists, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey.
Dear Professor Einstein; Shortly after I received your kind letter saying that you would send, in response to my request, a copy of your Letter and statement to Manila to be disseminated to the Public through the Magazine of the Methodist Mission, I received an invitation from a society of which I had known nothing,- The Friends of the Phillipines. I am enclosing a copy for your consideration. It was quickly but efficiently arranged - the Meeting - and the Proponents were astonished at the cordial response from all the highest in the Land of Army, Navy. State,Congresa and the unknown. You have said so truly that the quaetion of the disposal of the Atomic Bombre must be answered in the Village square and it seems to me as far as I have been permitted to observe that nothing fills the hearts of the People(who love their country,with such content and pride as the Freeing of the Phillipines to share our Freedom. The letters received by the Friends of thePhillipines on their Anniversary, were so notable that they form a historic epic and are being collected in a private volume to be preserved by the society.
In addition to this,the had a private exhibition, soon I hope to be repeated for all the Members and friends of this Club,of the Army and Navy Fulms of the first and second explosions of the Atomic Bomb.
I am writing to ask you if I may give to the Society for their book,the letter which you wrote to me about your Letter to the Phillipines. I have told Mrs Grant about it and she was greatly pleased. She also said that she had recently heard communication from you read at the State House here.
If you cared to do so I think a letter written by yourself, directly to her as one of the compilers of the book would be even more eff ective. But should you not care to do so,may I give her your letter to me as of February 7,1947.
Yours very sincerely, ( Miss ) Alice Roundy.
