George Foster Peabody wrote a letter to New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 20, 1929. In the letter, Peabody disagrees with friends Agar and Apperson on the opportunity for an international winter sports event at Lake Placid. Peabody encloses a copy of a letter he wrote to Apperson explaining his perspective. He also mentions the beautiful ice-coated trees following winter weather but notes the damage to trees. Peabody hopes to see Roosevelt when he visits but acknowledges travel is difficult currently.
