My dear Mrs. Bell:
Your very cordial letter to the Presi-
9-B
dent of May fifteenth has been received, and I
do wish to assure you that your thoughtfulness
in writing is appreciated.
As my secretary explained to Mrs.
Bland on the telephone, it will be impossible
to arrange for you and your son to call upon the
President and present him with the small gift.
I know, however, that I do not have to tell you
how difficult it is for him during these critical
war days to see his many good friends whom, under
happier circumstances, he would so enjoy. If
you would care to bring the gift here to the
Executive Offices to Mr. William Simmons, our
receptionist, I can assure you that it will be
brought to the President's attention promptly;
or if you would rather mail the gift in my care
I shall be glad to place it before him.
With kind regards, I am

Congressman Compton I. White of Idaho wants to bring his committee down

the Columbia River and its Tributaries. The hearings and findings of this
Comm. are contained in four volumes, one set of which has been expecially bound
in white calf and marked with the President's name. They are being given to him

My dear Mr. President:
Under separate cover I am sending you a book entitled,
"Beyond Our Shores the World Shall Know Us". It is concerned with
the problem of providing adequate American international broadcasting
facilities.
A suggested American shortwave super-broadcasting system
is described in non-technical form. The book, essentially, is an
amplification of a proposal submitted to United States Government
Authorities, in September, 1941, by the Federal Telephone and Radio
Corporation, an affiliate of the International Telephone and Tele-
graph Corporation.
Primary considerations prompting this presentation are:
the conviction that comprehensive broadcasting facilities, second
to those of no other nation, are essential to the promotion of
American prestige abroad. Further, that facilities of this char-
acter are destined to become increasingly important as our war effort
tends towards its climax and merges into the world readjustment period.
It is my hope that the book will prove helpful towards plac-
ing the United States in a position of pre-eminence in the international
broadcasting field.
Sincerely yours,

My dear Mr. Congressman:
The President has asked me to send
you a copy of the letter he has sent to Mr.
Gonzales today. He wants to thank you for
all the trouble you took to get that grand
shipment of seafood to him.
The President sends you his best
wishes.

My dear General Watson:
I am enclosing a letter from my lifelong friend, Nelo J. Gonzales,
the owner of the great Star Fish & Oyster Company of Mobile, Ala-
bama, and you will note he wants the Chief to have a taste of our
great seafoods that we get out eautiful Mobile Bay and the great
Gulf of Mexico. However, Nelo's letter gives the facts about the
wonderful fish and especially the Pompano, the world's finest fish,
the Snapper Throats, the Snapper Tenderloins, and the finest Shrimp
that grows on earth - all to be found in Nelo's great place of busi-
ness in Mobile.
Nelo's father before him operated this wonderful organization, so
drop me a line and tell me when you think the President would like to
have this fish shipped and where. I imagine the White House, but I
thought maybe he would like to have it at Hyde Park.
I would also like a suggestion as to the amount he would like to
have - I mean the number of persons he would like to serve The
more the merrier!
Good luck and God Bless you!
Sincerely your friend

Good Morning:
Frank, from the President's speech yesterday, I can only
gather that he is not a well man, but he is the same big
President who at any cost will stick to his job until
this conflict is over. I wish it were possible that he
could enjoy a box of specially selected seafoods that I
would like to send him, but I realize that if I should
send them to him, that they would never feed them to him.
If you could contact one of his secretaries and he would
assure me that he would enjoy some of our specially pre-
pared Crab Meat, Pompano, Snapper Throats, Snapper Tender-
loins, or Shrimp, it would certainly be a pleasure for me
to send him a nice package.
I guess you received the telegram I sent you yesterday
at the request of Col. Knight. This new draft regulation
will curtail seafood production to a dangerous state.
You know that we in the Gulf area in the production of
seafoods operate differently than they do anywhere else
in the United States. Every member of the family works
in the production and preparation of seafoods. These
kids are like fidlers. From the time they are five years
old, they are on the boats every day they have a day off
from school and during their vacations they spend their
time helping their fathers and older brothers.
Well, old timer, don't forget to see if it is possible
that our great leader would enjoy seafood delicacies from

he President of the United States of America and the Prime Minister, Mr. Churchill, rep-
resenting his Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, being met together, deem it
right to make known certain common principles in the national policies of their respective
countries on which they base their hopes for a better Future For the world.
FIRST, Their countries seek no aggrandizement, territorial or other;
SECOND, They desire to see по territorial changes that do not accord with
the Freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned;
THIRD, They respect the right of all peoples to choose the Form of government
under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self~
government restored to those who have been Forcibly deprived of them;
FOURTH, They will endeavor, with due respect for their existing obligations, to
further the enjoyment by all States, great or small, victor ot vanquished, of
access, on equal terms, to the trade and to the raw materials of the world
which are needed for their economic prosperity;
FIFTH, They desire to bring about the Fullest collaboration between all
nations in the economic field with the object of securing, For all, improved
labor standards, economic adjustment and social security;
SIXTH, After the Final destruction of the Nazi tyranny, they hope to see estab-
P
A
lished a peace which will afford to all nations the means of dwelling in safety
C
E
within their own boundaries, and which will afford assurance that all the men
in all the lands may live out their lives in Freedom from Fear and Want;
SEVENTH, Such a peace should enable all men to traverse the high
seas and oceans without hindrance;
EIGHTH, They believe that all of the nations of the world, for realistic as well
as spiritual teasons, must come to the abandoument of the use of Force. Since
no Future peace can be maintained if land, sea or air armaments continue to be
employed by nations which threaten, or may threaten, aggression outside of their
Frontiers, they believe, pending the establishment of a wider and permanent
system of general security, that the disarmament of such nations is essential.
They will likewise aid and encourage all other practicable measures which
will lighten for peace~loving peoples the crushing burden of armaments-:-

side of the binding. The following is written in pencil on one of the pages: "given
to Sarah 1. Delano by Mrs. Eliz. wife of Warren Delano who died August 17, 1865.' Since
the pencil writing would indicate that at some time the bible belonged to the President's
mother, if Sen. Groon thinks that the Pres. would like to have it for his museum, the
writer would be glad to send it to him to present to the President.----6/23/44 the Senator

letter of June twenty-third. Will you tell your friend lb. Crowe that I shall be delighted

Eliza Parker was the second wife of my great grandfather and that my mother remembered
her when she was a little girl. I such appreciate Mr. Crowe's thought of se and sond to
