Dear Mr. President:
Congratulations Mr. President. I hope God the Almighty gives
you all the health and strength you need to tackle the heavy task
ahead in guiding our country, during the year and many more years
to come.
During the past few years, I have always wanted so much to sh
show materially my admiration for you, our beloved President, the
greatest leader of all times. Not until your fifty-ninth birthday
have I succeeded in creating something to fulfill my ambition in
my own humble way. My gift seems very insignificant compared to th
the numerous gifts which you received from your countless friends
and admirers from all over the world. Please accept this simple
portrait of you which was all done by my awkward hands. I did
this through my study in all the newspaper clippings and newsreels
expecting, of course, to do a near likness of you.
I am a Filippino, employed as a house boy and cook in an
apartment house. During the last three years, I have taken up
painting as a hobby to spend my leisure time.
Wishing you the best of luck and happiness for many more
years to come.
Very respectfully yours,
Steve T. Cortez

Dear Mr.President:
I am sending to you today, 4 pairs of
my rubber "SWIM-FINS", 1 pair of the extra small size,
1 pair of the small size, 1 pair of the medium size and
1 pair of the large size.
I represented the United States in
the Olympic Games at Amsterdam 1928, Los Angeles - 1932,
Berlin - 1936, in yachting, winning the Gold Medal in
1932.
While on a cruise to the South Seas
in 1938, I found the natives at Tahiti using a sort of
fin which was made by a Frenchman named Louis de 'Corlieu.
I came back to the United States with the idea and after
considerable study and experiment, I developed the present
swimming and life saving device which I have named "SWIM-
FINS".
These are now being used extensively
by life guards, swimming coaches and instructors in the
various schools, universities and colleges throughout
the country. The "Swim-Fins" automatically relax the
ankles, and strengthen the muscles in the legs and hips.
I sent the extra small size and the
small size for the use of your grandchildren, who I know
will enjoy them.
I understand you are a great lover of
swimming and have a beautiful pool at the White House. If
the "Swim-Fins" will add to your pleasure, I will be very
happy.

Dear Owen:
Have used several pair of your Swim Fins and found that instead of
being just a novelty they are of real practical value in developing
the leg drive in the crawl stroke. They are an exaggerated example of
the theory that we have worked on in teaching the leg stroke and carry
out the idea of the undulating movement with the loose ankle action.
They have brought quick results in the improvement of the leg drive
and I certainly can recommend their use by every young swimmer in
perfecting the leg action in the crawl.
Sincerely,
Bredl bady

Dear Owen,
Now that I have had your Swim-Fins for several months, I.
want to tell you my observations of them in actual use.
For beginning swimmers, they speed up learning of the crawl
kick immensely, particularly for the fifty percent of beginners
who find this kick difficult at first.
For advanced and competitive swimmers, they can be of great
use in making both freestylers and backstrokers more conscious
of the power that is possible from the flutter kick, and can
also help to strengthen the legs and increase the flexibility
of the instep.
The added power and control they give can be very valuable
in life-saving work, and also in stunt swimming and watermanship.
But most people are more interested in swimming for pleas-
ure, and I think everyone who has used your Swim-Fins will agree
that they certainly put a real extra "kick" in swimming -- lit-
erally and figuratively. They put the same zip and power into
swimming that a springboard puts into diving. If anything can
make swimming more fun than it already is -- Swim-Fins can and
do!
1 am heartily grad to endorse your Swim-Fins as a really
important contribution to swimming.

Dear Mr. Churchill:
It has been my privilege to personally try out the
"Swim Fins # I have been interested in competitive A.A.U.
swimming since 1912. I was former National 880 yd. National
swimming champion in 1921 and have held the 220 ,440 and 880
Pacific coast swimming free style championships during the
years 1917 -1923 inclusive, I definitely find that the swim
fins give any swimmer, beginner or veteran a tremendous lift
and increase the efficiency of the stroke at least 33 1/3%.
The beginner who has trouble aligning the leg flutter action
of the crawl stroke will find the swim finns considerale help
in developing the proper crawl flutter action.
The fings are a decided help for life guards after the victin
has been reached and the tired swimmer carry life saver act is
being performed. The flutter action of the swim fin is 33 1/3 %
faster towing the victim to first aid help. The side stroke and
breast stroke is too slow compared with the swim fin flutter leg
action stroke, before and after reaching the tired or drowning
swimmer.
The San Diego Chapter of the American Red Cross Water
Safety group are using and recommending the " Swim Fins ".
Best wishes for your continued growth and success in
merchandising the n Swim Fins ",

Dear Owen:
To say that your Swim Fins are great for beg-
inners in swimming is putting it mildly.
The real secret in swimming is proper breathing.
Beginners find breathing extremely difficult due to the
unnatural position of the face in the water. I have proven
beyond a doubt, that with the use of Swim Fins the beg-
inner planes higher through the water giving himself plenty
of time to exhale and inhale,
This great secret once mastered makes swimming'
a joy, thanks to the use of Swim Fins.

The clink of silver dimes in a
pasteboard box today spurred lit-
tle fingers on in their task of
making yarn gollywog dolls at
Charity hospital to identify don-
ors in the annual March of Dimes
drive.
Restricted to those who dropped
their dimes in the children's box,
the brightly colored gollywogs ap-
peared on the white uniforms of
doctors and nurses who serve in
the hospital where the children
are fighting their individual bat-
tles against dread infantile paraly-
sis.
Goal of their drive is $25 which
they plan to send directly to
President Roosevelt along with a
letter which will read like this as
presently framed:
"We have SO many little boys
and girls here at the hospital who
receive braces and other help
with money raised from your

thought we'd like to help. It will
be like helping ourselves. We

Victims in Charity Hospital
Hope to Send $25
to President
By Podine Schoenberger
Scissors snipped at gay-colored
wool and youthful fingers worked
busily in the Charity hospital
school Thursday afternoon as
boys and girls with paralyzed
limbs, crippled backs and broken
bones made gollywog dolls for
contributors to the March of
Dimes campaign.
Each time a hospital doctor
dropped a dime into the contribu-
tion box, a small patient smiling-
ly presented him one of the dolls.
A sign on the blackboard read,
March of Dimes! Help Us Help
Ourselves and Our Many Lit-
tle Friends Who Have Infan-
tile Paralysis. Contribute to Our
Fund and We'll Make a Gollywog
Doll for You."
Hundreds of dimes had clinked
into the big pasteboard box and
the knitting-wool dolls the chil-
dren were making began to dis-
appear. Elated over their suc-
cess, the hospital pupils began to
measure off wool for a new sup-
ply of dolls, some of them making
pink and blue dolls, some green
and yellow dolls, some red and
purple dolls.
In the midst of all this activ-
ity, Miss Winifred Lessing, a
nurse in the pediatric service.

Dear Mr.McIntyre:
Our President is a New York State resident and therefore
surely knows the wonderful reputation that New York
State Baldwin and Greening Apples have for making the
best and finest Apple pies.
A few years ago, we started out to try to produce a can
of Apples which would make an 8" pie like Mother used to
make. In other words, we wanted to produce an Apple in
a canned Apple with the wonderful flavor and quality of
the New York State Baldwins and Greenings. After a lot
of work, we succeeded and we have been very successful

with our Comstock Pie Sliced Apples.
q.a
We have had dozens of unsolicited testimonials from house-
wives who have used these Apples and have immediately put
them on their "must"list. In order that you may know a
little more about them, we are enclosing a little booklet
which tells the story better than a short letter.
We are in no way attempting any advertising propaganda
nor would we wish to use the information in any way.
I
What we would like, if it were acceptable to President
Roosevelt, is to send him a few cases of these Apples
as one New York Stater to another. Will you please
=
advise us whether such a gift would be acceptable and
if so, how we could go about the matter SO that these
Apples may be available at the White House when needed?

I have your letter of February fourth
and am sorry for the long delay in replying.
You are most generous in your offer
to send the President a case of your Pie-sliced
Apples and I know he will enjoy having it.
Your statement that it is not your
desire to use the presentation of a case of
these apples for advertising purposes is
genuinely appreciated since, of course, all
such gifts can be accepted only with the
distinct understanding that no publicity will
be given their acceptance.
If you would care to send the case
to the President in my care, I shall be glad
to see that they are presented to him with an
appropriate word of explanation.

Thank you very much for your letter

apples arrived yesterday and the President
has asked me to thank you for your kind
thought in sending it.
I have been glad to see that the
proper person at Hyde Park is notified of
the arrival of the case you sent up there
so that it will be taken care of properly.
It is more than good of you to
offer to send Mrs. McIntyre a case of these

Dear Mr. McIntyre:
Thank you very much for your courteous letter of the 13th.
We are sending today to the President, in your care, a
case containing:
24 cans #2 Comstock Pie Sliced Apples
We appreciate your willingness to see that they are pre-
sented to him with an appropriate word of explanation.
In addition to the case which we are sending to The White
House, we are also sending another case by express to his
home at Hyde Park New York. We presume they like to
make Apple pies up there in the country and we thought
a case at this point would do no harm. This case is
being simply sent to The President of the United States,
without any explanation, so if you think you should write
to Hyde Park, we shall be happy to have you do SO.
We should also very much like to have Mrs McIntyre have
a case of these Apples. If you would be kind enough to
give'us your home address in Washington, we shall be more
than happy to see that she is put in a position to try these
out.
Thank you very much for your trouble and courtesy in this

Dear Mr. President:
Under separate cover a copy of my new book, Do
You Need Some Money, has been forwarded to you.
It will be released by Harper and Brothers on
February 19th. The book deals with the subject
of consumer credit.
This is a New Deal book. So far as the publishers
are aware it contains in Part III the most complete
description of the New Deal spending agencies, both
temporary and permanent, to be found outside of gov-
ernment publications. It rationalizes New Deal
spending in terms of consumer credit, for this so-
called spending represents the advance of money to
consumers primarily for the purchase of consumer
goods, and must ultimately be repaid by the nation's
consumers in the form of taxes. The book criticizes
some errors and shortcomings , but mainly it cham-
pions the New Deal - which has an increasingly for-
lorn sound as growing war alarums blanket everything
else.
The book concludes with a discussion of the crucial
issues now confronting the nation. What of our for-
eign relations? How about South America? How fin-
ance the huge defense program - and war if it comes?
How restore the national economy in the post-defense -
or post-war - period? The book proposes - through
the regulated use of consumer credit, operating whol-
ly within our present economic system - a solution
of the unemployment problem and means of financing
the vital defense program without increase of public
debt or tax rates.

This will acknowledge the receipt
of the beautiful crocheted pieces which you
sent to the President recently. While he
is deeply grateful for your friendly thought
of him, he feels that he ought not to accept
them and, therefore, they are being returned

My dear Colonel,
I don't think it would be a breach of confidence for one
to forward you a letter I received from Admiral Stark, as it
mentions the President's name. I am also sending you a desk size
reproduction of the plaque "Eternal Vigilance" which is cast in
Metelex, finished in antique statuary bronze, size 22 X 28, very
attractive and rich in appearance.
I don't know if the Admiral would like to present the plaque
himself to the President, or should I send it mentioning that the
Admiral had suggested it. I thought perhaps you could help me out.
How is your health? I watch the papers closely but have not
been fortunate enough to see your name. I hope the reason is not
that you are confined.
I have worked strenuously and long with this American's
Creed Association, which is now beginning to gain a little momentum
and results look very favorable.
Trusting this finds you in good health, I am, with sincere
best wishes,
Sincerly yours

NAVY DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON
18 February 1941
Dear Mr. Carson:
I wish to express to you how perfectly de-
lighted I am with the plaque "Eternal Vigilance". I have put
it right here in my office where all can see and where I think
it is so appropriate. As a matter of fact our new Assistant
Secretary, Mr. Bard, came in just after I had put it up and
said that he wished he had one for his office. I am afraid I
may become a public nuisance in asking you for copies of this
and I would be more than glad to reimburse you for their cost.
Particularly would I be glad to have one in Chase
Hall, 185 South River Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., which you may
recall the President of Bucknell mentioned my having given to
Bucknell as a memorial to my sister, Mrs. F. M. Chase. Also
I would be glad if one could be sent to the University of Buck-
nell itself (Wilkes-Barre has just the Junior College), address-
ing it to Dr. A.C. Marts, President, Bucknell University, Lewis-
burg, Pa.
I should also like to send one to President Roosevelt
who I know would enjoy having it and who might occasionally find
use for it in case he does not happen to have a copy. Finally, I
would be very glad to have one for my own home where I shall more
than treasure it.
I feel that the effort I made the other night over the
air has been repaid a thousand times to me personally by this plaque,
and again my very great thanks.
I note what you say about having this plaque in desk
size and if you could send me two of them I would be grateful.
Very sincerely,
Mr. Robert D. Carson,
The American's Creed Association,
11 West 42nd Street,
New York City,
P.S. You may possibly have seen that the President has recently
designated Wilkes-Barre (my home town) as the name for one of our
new cruisers. When the time rolls around for her commissioning
I will be more than pleased if one of these plaques can be put
aboard her. As a matter of fact it would be a good thing to have
one in every ship in the Navy. But to come down to something
more practicable, may I add one more request and that is to send
one to Rear Admiral Russell Willson, USN, Superintendent, U.S.
Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland.
Again many thanks
(signed) H.R. Stark

Dear friend Mac:
Pardon my delay in replying to your
letter of March 8th, 1941, which was due
to illness.
I wanted you to have the desk plaque
I sent down. Lieut. Commander W. R. Smedberg,
III, advises me that Admiral Stark gave the
President one of the two I sent him.
The regular size plaque is 22" X 28" and
I agree with Admiral Stark that one of these
should be in the President's office and that he
would be very glad to have it. If you agree, and
will advise me whether to ship it to you or dir-
ect to the President, I will be very happy to do.so.
of course, I would like to have a letter of ac-
knowledgment from F. D. himself, who wouldn't?
I hope you have come through this horrible
weather okey and that you are again enjoying
good health, this includes all the other good
wishes from
Yours Bob sincerely,
RDC:JB.

My dear Bob:
Thanks for your clarifying note of
March twenty-fourth.
In view of the fact that the Admiral
has already presented one of the plaques to the
President, I think it is hardly necessary to
send him another. I know that he is glad to
have it, as I am.
