My Dear President Roosevelt:-
I am taking the liberty of
sending to you the appended emblem which I think is very
appropriate at this time, expressing as it does the
sentiments of the vast majority of the people of our
beloved country.
I might state that this picture was owned and greatly
prized by my deceased wife, Josephine Flynn, who at the
time of her death was Democratic National Committeewoman
from Connecticut. You may perhaps remember that she had
the great pleasure of riding with you from Hartford, Conn.
to Bridgeport, her home city, when you made your history-
making triumphal tour of our State during the last campaign.
If Mrs. Flynn were here she would take great delight
in sending this emblem to you, and I do feel that I am
carrying out what would be her strong desire in this respect.
With sincere wishes for you health and happiness,
I remain,
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Early:
We are gratified to note in "Life's" recent
picture of the President's desk, a copy of our "Practical
Standard Dictionary" among his reference books.
We would very much like to substitute for the
copy on the President's desk a new and revised edition of
the "Practical Standard Dictionary" which has been recently
published. Therefore, we are shipping you a copy and are
asking your kind interest in making the substitution.
The old edition may be disposed of as you see
fit.
In the package containing the new dictionary,
we are including a copy of our important new book, just off
the press, "Mr. House of Texas," by Arthur D. Howden Smith.
We feel sure that the President will enjoy having this authori-
tative work for reference in his library.
With appreciation of your interest in these matters,
Very cordially yours,

Dear Sir:-
Some time ago I asked President Franklin D. Roosevelt
if he would accept the publication "Encyclopedia of Canada"
and forwarded part of this edition to him, as the books
were published, receiving an acknowledgment from the
American Consul General in Toronto.
Apparently there has been an oversight in my office with
respect to delivery of the final volumes, as I can only
find acknowledgment of Volumes #1, #2, #3 and #4. For this
I am very sorry and take this opportunity of apologizing
and advising that Volumes #5 and #6 to complete the series are
being addressed to you and forwarded by Registered Mail.
May I ask that you pass my apology on to the President and
you you might arrange to have these two volumes placed with the
other four.
Yours very truly,

My dear Mr. President:
Under separate cover I am forwarding to
you a framed photograph of two Navy boats, P T 3
and P T 4 which were recently delivered under power
to the Navy at Norfolk by the Fisher Boat Works, Inc.
of this city. This Company is owned and operated by
my brother, William P. Fisher.
These boats are 59 feet in length and are
equipped with two Packard motors which develop about
1400 horsepower each. In their trials the boats did
in excess of 40 knots.
Knowing something of your interest in this
new type of surface craft and having received many
favorable comments about a duplicate which hangs in
my office, I am presuming that you might accept this
photograph as an addition to your collection.

The President wrote expressing thanks for basket of flowers re-
ceived from Mr. Brewer, Mr. Brooks and Mr. Darcy. The President said when he
received the flowers together with a telegram from the Porters that there was em-
phasized in his mind something which he has always felt, that over the many
pleasant miles they had traveled during the past years they had between them not
merely the relationship of service to each other but also a very real and lasting
friendship arising out of mutual respect.

Dear Mr. President:-
In accordance with my custom of providing the
Inaugural Silk Hat for every President of the United States,
from Theodore Roosevelt to the present day, I am pleased to
forward to you under separate cover a silk hat made to your
correct head conform.
The men in my shop have been proud to work on this
hat and ask that you wear it in the knowledge that it has been
produced by the finest American workmanship.
I know that your head has taken quite a beating in
the last four years, and while not all of the brickbats have
landed on that old silk hat, I still feel that it is time it
was retired.
I trust that the coming four years will bring you
the health and strength to guide the American people-- and perhaps
the people of the world-- into the ways of peace and prosperity.
Yours very truly,

My dear Mr. Fishler:
dar
I am very sorry for the delay in ac-
knowledging your letter of January fourth, but
in the rush of these busy days it was inadvertent-
ly overlooked.
Regarding the matter about which you
write, it is suggested that you use your own dis-
cretion as this office cannot give the specific
permission you request. I assure you that your
interest in the Warm Springs Foundation is appre-
ciated.
Very sincerely yours,
