Dear Franklin:
Having read this morning your comprehensive
message on the tenant farmer situation, I have been amazed
to note certain similarities in our present farm economy
to the conditions in the ancient world and I think you may
be interested to see what the legislators two thousand years
ago tried to do about it - how they failed, and why. At
any rate, you might chuck the book at our fellow alumnus,
Mr. Wallace, whose tastes seem to lead him through a tremen-
dous bibliography of ancient writings on Agriculture.
The book is written by Vladimir G. Simkhovitch,
professor of Economic History at Columbia, whose writings you
may be familiar with in various numbers of the Political Science
Quarterly. This particular book happens to contain his sig-
nature. I have found perfectly fascinating the entire book,
which goes under the title "Toward The Understanding of Jesus",
and have read it all twice over - but that part which has to do
directly with farm tenantry in ancient Italy goes under the sub-
title "Rome's Fall Reconsidered" beginning on page 84 and ending

SHREVEPORT, La., Wednesday.-Yesterday's column was typed in
the car while we were driving from Denton to Fort Worth, Texas. This
is the first time that Mrs. Scheider has actually had to put the type-
writer on her knees and type as we drove along. Elliott tried to be care-
ful but every now and then we hit a bump, which was not so helpful to
the typist.
I was very much interested in the College for Industrial Arts for
Women at Denton. Their art department has 30 teachers and they train
for a number of professions, apparently very successfully. They would
have liked to show me the whole college in the afternoon and I should
have enjoyed seeing it, but when I had to choose between seeing the
college and having a few hours at home with my children and grand-
7
children, I chose to go home. We spent a very pleasant afternoon writ-
ing and reading and playing with the children.
Ruth's mother, Mrs. Coogins, came to supper and we left her to read

to Chandler when we set off again to Denton, where I had to speak at
i had promised President Hubbord I would not be
late in order that they could all listen to my husband's speech. I was
just as anxious to be through and listen to him myself.
This was a curious sensation, because, as a rule, I have read the
speech beforehand. But on this occasion I had no inkling of what was
going to be said, and so listened to it with an entirely fresh mind. We
drove home very slowly, with the radio turned on, and it certainly was
a curious sensation to hear the President's voice sounding so natural and
coming from the room which I could visualize so well, while I was driving
along a road in Texas.
One of the girls at the college presented me with a little green enamel
necklace she had made herself. As she was interested in jewelry, I
showed her a ring which I always wear because the stone was given me
by an old and very dear friend. The ring itself was made by Miss Grace
Hazen, who was twice the winner of the national arts prize for hand-
made Jewelry. The college student was very much interested and ex-
amined the ring with care, and then I had to give the history of a pendant
which I wore, made in part from some ornaments found in some ancient
ruins.
Early this morning we were up and packed and my granddaughter,
Chandler, ushered us in to say good-bye to baby Elliott. After breakfast
the mayor of Shreveport, Sam Caldwell, came for us and we started on
our drive from Fort Worth to Shreveport.
It was a longer drive than I expected, but a beautiful day and very
lovely country, flat at first, later rolling, with an increasing number of
trees. We stopped for a cup of coffee and a sandwich at noon and be-
fore long a small procession of people were coming up to shake hands.
ne old lady confided in me that she loved the President and followed

My Dear Mr President:
Dr.William G.Baird, resident of Los Angeles,

rod with his own hands, from the splitting of the bamboo
from which it is constructed to a splendid accessory
for a fisherman who has sought and caught big ones.
His thought in fabricating this pole was that
as (per the press) you are going fishing you might

ciple of Isaac Walton and a Democrat.
If agreeable Dr.Baird will send this to The

My dear Madame Jusserand:-
For many weeks I have been
intending to write you a longhand letter --- but
I am coming to the conclusion that I have com-
pletely lost the art. So will you forgive this
typewritten note;
I shall always treasure
those delightful copies of M. Jusserand's books,
and they are in my personal glass bookcase in
my study where I see them every day.
I am sending you the
original copy of the little address I made at
the unveiling of the Memorial in Rock Creek
Park. When I pass it in my drives this Spring
and Summer I shall often think of you both.
Eleanor joins me in warm
regards.
Faithfully yours,

Letter written in Spanish, saying he has written a book called "Merica Libre"

President Roosevelt, the third volume of this work, together with President Paez's
message of "fraternal personal adherence" in which the latter expresses his zeal
"for everything related with the policy and the acts of our America". Would like
President to write an encouraging statement for the fourth volume of his new book.
Would also like to have President's autographed photo.

My dear President:
At Ithaca in August 1931 and again in
Rochester in the Spring of 1932, you told me of your
interest and praise for the work which we were doing
in regional planning in the Monroe County area.
Since that time much has been accomplished
particularly in the field of land use planning. With
the assistance of professional and technical workers
furnished us by T.E.R.A., C. W. A. and W. P. 4,, the
details of our work have gone forward with increased
speed.
There is sent herewith a copy of the 1936
report of the Monroe County Division of Regional Plan-
ning, which I know is too voluminous for you to read
but you may be interested in glancing at the maps which
are included at the end of the report.
With personal greetings,
Respectfully yours,

My dear Miss LeHand:
As I realize how busy our illustrious
President is, I am taking the liberty of writing you this
letter and sending you herewith a book of verse which I have
written and which has just come from the Publishers. I shall
indeed be most grateful to you if you will please be so kind
as to give this book to the President. I should like partic-
ularly to direct your attention to the poem on page 11.
I live here with my Mother and sister. I
have an organic illness of the nervous system, for which medical
science has not yet discovered a cure, and which especially makes
walking difficult for me and life most difficult in general.
I do earnestly hope that the President may see
this letter and my book and that he will like my poems. It would
indeed make me the happiest and proudest girl in the world, if I
might hear from our wonderful President. We are the greatest
admirers of our President and our very charming and gracious
First Lady and their family, as well as your charming self.
I wish again to express to you my most sincere
appreciation.
Sincerely yours,

My dear Mr. President:

Under separate cover we are mailing you a copy of "All These
Things" which has just been published by A. N. Field,
P.O. Box 154, Nelson, New Zealand.
This book was ordered for you by Mr. William Paul McKinney,
the author of THE TRUTH ABOUT FARM POVERTY, on January 19th,
1937. Mr. McKinney passed away on March 1st, and your book
has just arrived from New Zealand. We are, therefore,
carrying out Mr. McKinney's wishes by sending it to you as
we feel sure you will find the contents very illuminating.
I called your attention to this book in my letter to you
of January 19th in connection with the proposed visit of
Sir Otto Niemeyer. This book deals at length with this
distinguished gentlemen's activities in New Zealand, and
should be interesting both to the Treasury Department and
the State Department.
Yours very truly,

(2) NATIONALIZE ALL TWELVE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS. (Federal
Goverment can purchase their stock with sound Constitutional Money).
(3) REPLACE GRADUALLY OUR 34 BILLION DOLLARS OF TAX EXEMPT

TIONAL MONEY (saving our taxpayers nearly a billion dollars yearly interest
now paid to the money monopoly of banks and insurance companies).
(4) RESTRICT ALL FUTURE MONEY TO TREASURY NOTES, TO BE FULL
LEGAL TENDER, GOOD FOR ALL DEBTS AND TAXES, (PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE) AT FACE VALUE.
(5) MAINTAIN A FREE MARKET FOR GOLD AND SILVER (so that their
value as commodities will determine future prices, the same as wheat, corn and
cotton). Then our $10,500,000,000 of sterilized gold and our 2 Billion Dollars of
silver can remain buried in the Kentucky Hills until we need them to settle inter-
national trade balances.
(6) CONTINUE OUR 15,000 STATE AND NATIONAL BANKS TO REMAIN
PRIVATELY OWNED AND OPERATED (but prohibit them from creating
credit money which they can collapse at will. They should maintain 100% reserves
and only be warehouses for money).
(7) LEVY A FEDERAL TAX OF 1/2% PER MONTH AGAINST ALL MONEY
AND BANK DEPOSITS, TO BE APPLIED QUARTERLY, AND SUPPLE-
MENT THIS ACTION WITH A CURRENCY THAT DEPRECIATES IN
VALUE AT THE SAME RATE. This will apply an impellent to keep money in

LE RETOUR DES CENDRES
DE
NAPOLÉON, SAUVEUR DE LA PATRIE
Il est minuit. Et je songe à mon Empereur.
Enseveli depuis quatre ans à Sainte-Hélène,
Napoléon tu es toujours cher à mon coeur.
Aigle, repose-toi Ta face souveraine,
On ne la verra plus foudroyer les vaincus !...
II est minuit, grand Dieu ! Et la gloire éternelle
De l'Empire écrasé, sur mes sens éperdus
Flotte terriblement, affole ma cervelle.
Napoléon premier est mort comme un héros
Sur un îlot battu de la vague harmonie
Que le Dieu des Chrétiens ait soin de son repos,
Puisque mon Empereur connut une mort pieuse !
Vous voilà libérés de votre obsession,
Peuples coalisés des nations farouches
Qu'il avait terrassées, notre Napoléon !...
Il ne tressaillera plus au bruit des cartouches
Fracassant les bandits qui venaient ravager
Le sol national, ce prodigieux foudre
Qu'on ne peut malgré soi, un instant, oublier,
Tant il épandit par l'univers de la poudre !
...J'aime mon Empereur, le plus grand des Français;
J'aime Napoléon, le Sauveur de la France.
La nation te pleure, et tes restes sacrés
Regagneront Paris à notre exubérance

My dear Mr. President:
Be sweet. I am pleased to present
to you two bottles of pure, genuine, unadulterated, South
Mississippi sugar-cane syrup, grown and manufactured upon
my own plantation. The brand under which this syrup is
being put on the market, as you will note from the label,
is Dream House syrup-- the label carrying a picture of
my plantation home.
No doubt you have had substitutes and
adulterated syrups of all sorts and kinds imposed upon
you while eating your morning batter-cakes. Please take
this small portion of the genuine Southern syrup that
was processed and treated against crystallization in a
WPA plant.
I am pleased to convey to you with
this Syrup an invitation to visit me at my Dream House
at your first opportunity. The doors of my Colonial
Home stand wide open inviting you to enjoy some real
Southern hospitality. Come when you will and stay as
long as you can.
Sincerely

My dear Mr. President:
May I take the liberty, as a Peruvian, to tell you
that I have always admired men who do great things. Your
invitation to the Latin American Governments to convene
in Buenos Aires, and your opening address were the final
spark needed to fire my ambition to publish the magazine
which I send you today under the title of "Neighbors",
The Magazine of the Americas - inspired by, and designed
to carry on your memorable Good Neighbor policy.
Informed by the press that you are about to depart
on a fishing trip, it is my fervent hope and wish that
"Neighbors" may accompany you and that you will find a
leisure moment or two to become acquainted.
Very respectfully yours.

The President,
Washington,D.C.
Dear Mr.President:-
There was the Storm and the Earth-
quake, SO now, The Still Small Voice" is coming to you-
your picture graven on a block of wood, by a young un-
traied artist. So impressed were this young man's friends
with this evidence of his skill, that to me was given the
happy privilege of presenting this picture to you, under a
separate cover. His model was a common newspaper cut,such
as appear daily to the reading public, and the means of
transforming that picture to the block of wood, was an ordi-
nary pocket knife.
The name of this young artist, is George R. Baley, son of
W.R. and M.C.Baley,and the family home is 1124. Crawford
Avenue, in the City of Parsons Kansas. George is 19 years
of age, and is employed in a store here, and his carving has
been taken largely as a matter of Course, and he was much
astónished, when it was suggested that the President would
be pleased with this simple token of esteem from a fine
young man.
It seems most unfortunate, that the parents of this young
man are not financially able to gime him the kind of train-
ing that his obvious talent deserves. I am sure that a
personal letter from the President would bring him the
proudest moment of his life, besides being of material
benefit.
It is to me a great pleasure to be intrusted with the
writing of this letter, and to add my testimony to the
fine quality and worth of this young artist.
Very respectfully
E.O.Ellis E.O.Ellis
