My dear Mr. President:
It is with extreme pleasure that I think of
the splendid days that I have spent with you just a year
ago this month at dear old Warm Springs.
My condition has improved to such an extent
that I have elevated myself from the wheel chair to the
crutches, and I hope that my next visit with you at
Warm Springs, which I plan on next Thanksgiving Day, that
I might be able to greet you by using a cane.
Since elevating myself from the wheel chair
to the crutches, I have been elected Secretary of this
wonderful organization, the Falstaff Brewing Corporation,
and I am now making a Good Will Tour with the Little
German Falstaff Band through our Southwestern territory.
I was in hopes that I might have been able to
so route myself to bring the German Band into the Little
Play House, of which, you recall, I had charge of the
show that we gave for you on your last Thanksgiving visit
to Warm Springs; indeed, that night will always stand out
as a fond memory.
As a wish of good will, and with best wishes
to you and yours, I have wired my company today to Express
to you ten cases of Falstaff Beer. I am in hopes that
you will enjoy it.
Trusting that the new, beautiful Georgia Hall
will be all that you expect of it, and may it always
remain a delight to the dear patients of which you have
a life interest in.
I am in hopes that on Thanksgiving Day I may
be able to forward to you a few new Polia Crusaders. At
least, I am now spending my efforts in securing them.

My dear President Roosevelt:
When I had the pleasure of meeting you at
your home in Warm Springs, we were discussing the
history of the educational program inaugurated by
George Foster Peabody, and I stated at that time that
I would be very glad to look up some printed matter
pertaining to this history.
When President Payne met you in Albany,
he saw that you were interested in education in the
South and these two books that this letter accompanies,
are sent to you with the hope that they will give you
the information you may be interested in.
It is worthwhile knowing that four Presidents
of the United States have been members of the Peabody
Education Board.

My dear Sir:
This will introduce to you our Professor R. F. Green,
who will present to you a portrait of the president, drawn by
a 14 year old boy here in our school.
This school had its beginning in a desire on the part of
the good white people of Albany and Dougherty County who wanted
to do something to help the many illiterate negroes in this sec-
tion. The school was opened in 1904 and has a plant worth
$300,000 and a combined summer and winter student body of nearly
one thousand.
We are all very great admirers of the president and rejoice
in his brilliant administration of public affairs in a time of
such great distress and need.

Dear Mr Roosevelt,
you do
I have an heirloom which I would be delighted to present to
you in person. It is a hickory stick, out in 1842 in Nansemond
County Virginia, by one of our eminent doctors. His purpose in
-
outting this stick was to have a history of the Andrew Jackson
Campaign, which he has carved in the stick. In addition to this
he has the names of all the Presidents from Washington to Jackson
and the names of other prominent Democrats of that day carved very
nicely for pen knife work. It was presented to me by Doctor
Daughtery forty years ago and as I have no male heirs to leave it
1,
to, my great desire is to present it to you, to be heired by your
son James.
My home and its entirety has the greatest respect and admiration
for you and your good wife. And I feel, as ninety five per cent
of this city feels, that you are doing the greatest work for this
country that has been done since the Civil War.
Kindly advise if it will be convenient for me to call on you
about the eighteenth or twentieth of this month, as I will be in
Washington at that time.
Hoping that you will accept this token of my esteem and that
I may be permitted to present it to you,
Yours very truly

My dear Mrs. Brewer:
Governor Talmadge has very courteously re-
ferred your letter of November sixteenth to me,
with the request that I write you direct.
Since the beginning of the Administration
it has been the practice, at the White House
and elsewhere, for me to act on behalf of the
President in receiving all gifts.
I would suggest that you send the bedspread
to me by mail or express and 1 will be delighted
to present it to the President at the first
opportunity. I am sure he will appreciate the
es
sentiment inspiring the gift.
Sincerely yours
MARVIN H. MCINTYRE

The President,
Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. President:
Frank Biscardi, a pupil in our school,
has made a pencil enlargement of a picture of the
Honorable Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which is very
good when one considers the fact that this boy has,
apparently, had little or no instruction in this
work and his ability is almost entirely native talent;
together with persistent effort on his part.
He is very anxious to present this picture
to the President and it is upon my suggestion that this
letter is first being written, asking for permission to
do so, rather than to just send it along with no explana-
tion.
Frank entered our school just a few months

My dear Miss Berlowitz:
The President was much pleased to re-
ceive your letter of December third and requests
me to thank you heartily for the souvenir book-mark
which you were good enough to send him. He is glad
to accept it and deeply appreciates the spirit which
prompted your act.
I am very sorry to say that it is not
possible to grant your request for the President's
signature at this time, as so many letters are being
received similar to your own that he finds it out of
the question to comply with them.
Very sincerely yours,

New Milford, Conn., December 16, 1933.
My dear President Roosevelt,
When I had the pleasure of dining with Mrs. Roose-
velt and you a few weeks ago, you mentioned an article on the
Hitler book, Mein Kampf, in the New York Times, which was
written by my daughter, Miriam. On that account I am taking the
liberty of enclosing another article by my daughter in the Times
on Germany and Japan, with the thought that you may find it worth
reading in a leisure moment, if you ever have such a precious
occasion. Miriam has lived in Japan and in Germany and writes
from something more than book learning!
While I am on the subject of Japan, I should like
to say that the new Japanese ambassador, Mr. Saito, is an old and
close friend of ours and we know that he is alert, human, and
highly intelligent. Pesides, he knows America and Americans. You
are fortunate in having him in Washington.
One more point. I am asking Macmillans to send you
a little book which I have published on your New Deal. Some passages
in it may amuse you, at least as much as a strange postage stamp.
Allow me to say that the evening with Mrs. Roosevelt
and yourself is among the real treasures of my checkered career.
Yours sincerely,
Thares a. Beard

In England and France, by con-
trast, where modern commerce came
earlier, the bourgeois acquired a
HE frugal, disciplined, sword-
bearing officialdom of Ger-
many and Japan governed up
to two generations ago; between
this and the humble and laborious
common people stood too few
wealthy bourgeois to form a medi-
ating class. As a result, the two
nations were used to dictatorial
methods; neither acquired the
bourgeoise art of compromise-poli-
tics.
Up to this very hour, the bour-
geoisie of Japan and Germany has
never been victorious. When both
countries became "unified" in the
Eighteen Sixties, their governments
represented only a coalition of feud-
alism with capitalism; the mer-
chants had to accept the strong
monarch and the strong noble
statesman-Prince Saionji in the
one land and Prince Bismarck in
the other-who could steer the ship.
The old Junker and Samurai castes
were never demolished; they re-
tained, as generals and officers, as
diplomats and statesmen, and as
landlords, immense powers over
State and army. Indeed, they even
grew in power and influence, since
they alone could win foreign ad-
miration; it was necessary for Ger-
many to defeat France in 1871 and
for Japan to stretch China on the
mat to demonstrate their fitness to
join the "family of nations."
The aristocracies held aloof from
the people, whereas in France and
England they had been humbled by
sweeping revolutions. Though it
was possible for the Mitsubishis in
Japan and the Krupps in Germany
to rise to the highest circles, the
line between noble and bourgeois
remained well defined. The Ger-
man Junkers were never despoiled
of their vast estates, not even by
the so-called revolution of 1919; in-
deed they very recently got millions
of marks from the government to
help in running their farms.

Honorable Sir:
Having been sick and confined to my home by
illness, and while recovering from a serious operation, I
spent my time in making up a little gift for you for Christ-
mas. It is of my own work and is a frame with your picture
in it. You are represented in the center as the Commander-
in-Chief of the United States Army. The windows represent
the windows of an armory, with lions on guard and cannons for
protection, with the N. R. A. at the top.
Wishing you success in all your undertakings, I
remain,

My dear Mr. Battista:
Your letter of recent date has been re

deeply appreciates your desire to make and ship
to him a cake for his New Year dinner, I am sorry
to state that your letter reached this office too
late for the President to avail himself of your
kind offer. The President wishes me to thank
you for your courtesy and to tell you how much
he appreciates your thoughtfulness.
