Dear President: Here I come again to bothereyou with an emblem of your recovery plan, the great- est piece of work known to the History of our Country, a Moses to lead us out of bondage. We stayed with the Republicans until we found ourselves gripped in a fist of steel, till we feel the weight of the shackles that bind our bodies to the wall of corporations who are moulded into a kind of a political insane asylum without a keeper whose knees are too stiff to bough to the will of God and the jingle of money pierces their ears deeper than the cries of the needy, but still we have a type of tumble bug politicians who are trying to roll it to us, and if we are fool enough to swallow it, we will be filled with the filth of the Nation and when we get sick enough to vommit we will doubt the scripture where a dog will return to his vommit we are heartily in sympathy with your plan, eager to wear a badge of the N. R. A. type in the interest of all the people. I am sending you a carving of the badge appearing in the paper and in my humble and feeble petition I am proud of the fact that we have a man of your type, who has the back-bone to put the screws on these corporations. From a meek and loly friend who lives by the sweat of the brow when he can get it to do. Address: M. I. Anthis, 933 Hamilton Street, Springfield, Missouri P.P.a. August 4, 1933.

Kg-1-34 Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, Warm Springs, Georgia. My dear Mr. President: First, I want to congratulate you on your diplo- matic triumph in the Russian matter. It is in my judgment a victory of the first magnitude, and SO far as I can see the credit belongs to you and you alone; next, to congratu- late you on some of your enemies, notably those "Modern Tailors of Tooley Street, If whose place of resort is the corner of H and 17th Street in Washington. These naive gentlemen, who like the "tailors" above referred to, think they are the people of the United States. I suppose, taken by and all, they are a lot of fine gentlemen who have been more or less successful in business, or representing more or less successful business enterprises, but they take X pp7 themselves far too seriously. I scanned the names on the 9-B list of those present which I presume they think is a roll of honor, and lo and behold I found the name of one gentle- man with whom I am more or less well acquainted and who has made a great deal of money, but unfortunately he labors under the delusion that "mud" is spelled with two "d's", and this is not his only academic delusion. Of course, I can understand that a man might labor under the disadvantage of not having a sound elementary education, but at least he should have learned, and when I say "he" I refer to all of them, that, when he or they add to that sort of a weakness a delu- sion of grandeur, he and they are in a sad way. I need not tell you to treat that kind of advice lightly because your anticipation of what they were going to say when in your Savannah speech you referred to them as "Tories" was just precisely and exactly the right characterization for them and demonstrates that you have their number. In yesterday's "Herald Tribune" I noticed that one Blumenthal sent you by second-hand what some people might think to be good advice, but his method of sending it and then publishing it in the public prints convicts him of bad faith, And yesterday also Walter Lippman substituted for his usual very splendid article f an apologetic viewpoint, but fear not, Mr. President, the folks are with you, and fortu- nately the folks feel SO outraged by the way they have been "duped" by the banking fraternity and by the high lights in finance that the entire crowd have been sadly and properly Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, Page #2, November 22, 1933. discounted with the American people. It is the law of nature that anything that does not function, dies. The banks apparently are not functioning; no major loan of any importance has been made in the past year and a half that has come to my notice that was not made by your "Uncle Sam- uel" functioning through the RFC, and it just looks to me as though your "Uncle Samuel" will have to be in the banking business and if the grand old man can make a worse "fizzle" of it than those that have been at the head of them then he isothe sharp and shrewd Yankee that he has been pictured. I am taking the liberty of sending to you, under separate cover, a little book which contains some speeches and essays by a grand old character who many years ago was called to his Fathers. I speak of Archbishop Spaulding, of Peoria, Illinois. The old man in this book made the best case that I have ever read against the "lice" who have ex- ploited this country during the past twenty years. His statement of facts and logical conclusions to be deduced therefrom were indictments of the old order but the old man sought to turn it into an argument in support thereof. The book is full of "meat", it is short, you can read it in an hour. He is a splendid stylist of the old school, and taken all in all was one of the wondersul men developed in the hierarchy of my grand old church. If you get as much out of the Archbishop's book as I have gotten in the past, you will consult it from time to time when you are looking for a telling phrase or a well-termed sentence, or for a sound argument, and you will find them all in the old Arch- bishop's text, In conclusion, permit me to say, my dear Mr. President, that there is nothing that you have that I want, sa ve and except your "good will" and that I flatter myself I already have, but whether I have or have not is beside the question. I have no aspirations to take a place in that bright light that surrounds the throne. I only want to serve and wait. If there is anything that I can do in the capacity of a private citizen to help uphold your hands in these trying hours, rely upon it that I await the command, With assurances of my highest personal esteem, I am, Very truly yours, TTA:A Apalarhicola Oyster Farms, Inc.

He has been assigned to cooperate with the Brazilian Government and the Matte growers in promoting its use, as a result of which Dr. Brasil's request was referred to him. After due consideration, he has chosen Lacerda Matte as the best type, and we take great pleasure in forwarding it on to you.
