The President wrote that he is grateful for those two books by Rudyard Kipling; and that he appreciated having Sir Webb-Johnson tell the history of these two books. Says that he had read' The Burden of Jerusalem" before and could under stand why Mrs. Kipling thought it would be best not to publish it, had not read "A Chapter of Proverbs" before and enjoyed it very much. The President further states that by a twist of fate he had never had a chance of meeting Rudyard Kipling, says he was to have lunched with him on a day in July, 1918, but at the last minute he (the Pres.) had to make a visit to the Destroyer Base in Queenstown with Sir Eric Geddes. Says his cousin, Theodore Roosevelt, had sent messages to him by the President. The President expresses his thanks for volumes. --- The President wrote to Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Oct. 25, 1943 saying "Those two little books are gems - and I can well under- stand why they should not be made public at this time. Perhaps 'The Burden of Jerusalem' should wait until you and I are strong enough to carry Ibn Saud to Jerusalem and Dr. Weizman to Meca. I have thanked Sir Alfred Webb-Johnson.

An appropriate expression of the President's thanks has been addressed to Miss de Bruyn. Sincerely yours, J. Jammertin Chief of Protocol Enclosures: Portfolio and letter, returned. Miss Grace G. Tully, The White House. FOR VICTORY BUY UNITED STATES SAVINGS BONDS AND STAMPS Y Dear Mr. President, The accompanying portfolio may seem rather gruesome and scarcely fit for a. gift to our beloved President. Knowing however, how proud and happy the artist would have been, could he have known that his "documentary evidence" had been accepted by President Roosevelt, I offer it to you in his name - and in the name of all those who dared to rebel against Nazism from the very beginning and who have since paid for their convictions with their lives. The evidence shows plainly what the Nazi "supermen" - as far back as 1933 - did to their own people - and sounds the warning what the rest of the world can expect from them. In 1936 - when the original drawings were made - very few people in the U. S. A. would have believed the story this portfolio tells, to be true! I know, for a fact, that at that time, in Europe alas, many did not believe it. "Karlchen", the artist, is seen in many of the drawings. A little hunchback, scarcely 5 feet tall, In one of the drawings, where he is dragged into witness the whipping and general manhandling of one of his fellow victims, he is sneeringly told to have a good look, SO he can paint a "beautiful honor fairy-tale" if and when he gets free. - 2 - He made up his mind right there and then to obey the command literally. When he finally escaped to Belgium he spent the first months drawing what he had experienced and witnessed. The mayor of Antwerp was the first person to buy one of these portfolios. He also furnished Karlchen with a "carte d'identite" so that he could stay in Belgium. In 1937 I had the privilege of being introduced to Karlchen and many other political refuges, (mostly professional people) who belonged to a group which was very active in an underground Anti-nazi-movement. They all knew their game to be a dangerous one - and - Known to Herr Goebbels and his consorts. Shortly after the invasion of Belgium they paid for it with their lives. The only one, Known to have escaped is an American photographer, (also the photographer of the original drawings of the portfolio). He Sent - after incredible misery, hardships and adventures, finally managed to arrive with his little son, in New York (via Martinique). He is the one who told me the final chapter of Karlchen and his merry band! For, merry they were, inspite of all they had been through and of what they Knew awaited them. - 3 - There is one more portfolio in- the United States. Karlchen dedicated it to me - and - because of what it stands for, it is laid away reverently, with other souvenirs, Your name, to my suppressed people, and all suppressed peoples in this nether vale of tears, holds the promise of deliverance. Heaven grant that the day of Freedom may come soon! God bless you and sustain you in your stupendous task, (Sgd) Adriana de Bruyn Oct 5 143, 6807 Glenbrook Rd, Bethesda, Md. fmf Original corres. and portfolio sent to Hyde Park Library, Series "B", hms \ RP7- HERING, Mrs. Louise, Albany, New York, -P.P.7, October 29, 1943 - ack. 9-B Let. to the President and lbs.
