Roosevelt, President of the United States, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Roosevelt: For some time I have been conducting an independent survey of underlying economic causes within the United States which have contributed to recent depression conditions. I have also attempted to analyze the extent and effectiveness of many recent relief activities. The results of this study have been published under the title "Dividends for Citizenship", and I very much wish to present a copy of this book to you. I have requested that the publisher forward it to you directly. It may already have arrived. In the conduct of this investigation, I have become increasingly convinced of the fact that re-employment alone will never provide a sufficient means of accomplishing all of the economic correc- tion which is needed. Every possible means of employment is, of course, to be desired and encouraged, and the greatest apparent means for accom- plishing an increase in employment will be the stimulation of more pro- duction, caused by an increase in consumer purchasing power. In this book, I have attempted an analysis of various proposals which have recently occupied public attention, together with a summary and tabulated projection of the results of the Social Security Act as passed in 1935, with a frank appraisal of the likelihood of their ac- complishing the objectives stated. Likewise, I have endeavored to out- line a self-sustaining program which would lift entirely the need now being handled through relief agencies from the budgets of city, state and nation, and which points toward a possible ending of Government deficits. I am placing this book before you in the hope that you may find time to read it, and that you may find in it some suggestions or ideas of value. J.L.Sothins Very respectfully, JLD:C May 12, 1936. P.P.7. q-D My dear Mrs. Dias: This will acknowledge the receipt of your letter of April twelfth. ny The President was deeply touched by the kindly thought which prompted you to make and send the quilt to him.

Dear Sir:- As our business has been going good I wish to show my appreciation, and let you know just what I had said and planed to do. I said if we could get a loan to help us get our business straightened out I would make a quilt for you. I had seen a quilt of flowers and names of the States, So I thought I would make that one, but the day we received The Home Loan, I received a, Home Art, paper and in it was this quilt of the map of the United States, so I said that is the quilt I will make for,"The President of the United States, I am very glad I have made this quilt. For our help from the loan sure has made a big help to us and "I sure THank You". We had been in a hard place at one time for there were so many bills to pay. But I am SO happy to say that we are doing fine now and hope this success will last. And I am glad that I had good success to get the quilt finished. I had hoped to have it done along time ago, but I love work and I have a lot of work to do. Now that I have the quilt finished on, "Easter Sunday", I am glad and I will send it soon. Hoping It reaches you in good shape and I hope you have success in all your plans. Your Sincere Friend, Mrs Jucy Janie Dias file June 2. 1936 mr m.a.
