kind letter of October first and has asked

know that he has your friendly thoughts and

Honorable Sir:
Mrs
&R
In the feature called "Private Lives" in the
Los Angeles Times, I saw that you have a collection of
small books. I am, therefore, taking the liberty of
sending you the enclosed book entitled "Pearls of Prayer,"
a prayer book of the Roman Catholic church, to add to your
collection.
Since graduation from Northwestern University
in 1937, I have been wishing to express, in some way, my
appreciation and also that of my fellow students for the
aid received through the N. Y. A. It was largely through
the assistance of this organization, during those dark
depression days, that I was able to complete my education
and take up my life-long ambition of being an advertising
continuity writer.
I also wish to take this opportunity to state
that although my small voice may be lost in the din of
harsh criticism against you and your administration, I,
along with millions of fellow Americans, have great con-
fidence in your leadership and heartily endorse your
foreign policy.
I sincerely trust that this small book may
have the honor of being added to your fine collection
of books. With it goes a prayer for your guidance
through these dangerous days for our beloved country.
Most respectfully yours,
Roberta Frankston

The President said: "Will you do me the favor of telling all members of The
First Officers Training Camp Association of Texas that I am profoundly greteful to
them for the book of pledges presented to me yesterday, in their names, by Amon Carter
and Major Mack McGinley. This very precious and treasured document is being sent to
the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library at Hyde Park, New York, to be preserved there 'for
the men living in the future'. I hope you will also do me the favor of expressing
my gratitude to one and all of the First Campers for their pledge of loyalty to their
Commander-in-Chief and for rededicating their lives to the country for which they
fought so gallently in 1917 and 1918.' --- Attached is copy of Mr. Early's night

Baltimore, Md.
September 19, 1941
Writes to Gen. Watson asking if he can make arrangements for her to see the
President for a few minutes. She states that she has an "object" which she would
like to show the President; it is a world flag. Says the ideal which this flag
expresses is that of Mr. Churchill and the President.
See P.P.F. 9-D
NOTE:- Attached is a letter to Gen. Watson PPI. from Miss Dumm, 10/3/41, re the
above.-Attached office memo indicates that Miss Dumm arrived on
10/10/41 to leave the flag with Gen. Watson, who was unable to see
her at the time, and that she would not leave it with anyone else,
saying that "the President must be protected and no one else must
know about it." Consequently, she said that the appointment was
postponed "indefinitely".

Dear Mr. Farrar:
Please accept the President's thanks
for your letter of October fourth accompanying
X XPPT
advance copy of the book "I Paid Hitler" by
4-B
Frits Thyssen. The President greatly appreciates
your action in presenting him with this copy of
x198-A
Herr Thyssen's memoirs.
I regret to advise you that it will
not be possible for the President to make the
statement which you suggest. The President is
very glad to receive gifts of volumes of various
works but all have to be accepted with a distinct
understanding that the President cannot comment.
As he has adhered strictly to this course, I am
sure you will appreciate how difficult it would
be to make an exception in this instance.
Very sincerely yours,

Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt:
I am sending you, I PAID HITLER,
the Fritz Thyssen memoirs, which we are
bringing out on October 13th.
The introduction by Emery Reves
explains the method by which they were
written, and the chapters which were cor-
rected by Thyssen after his original dic-
tation as well as the ones which were not
gone over by him.
H
If you care, to, it might be
very helpful to have a statement from you,
not necessarily an ordinary "quote" on
the book, but rather a statement of what
we can learn from Thyssen's experience,

1934, I sent to President Roosevelt Lincoln
In care the a year copy of our 1934 edition of "The work is
in your of Essential Information." This great and
Library doubt the most complete, up-to-date, is of its ac-
without general a source of reference that there
kind curate in print. It contains the answers to approximately
a government, half geography, economics, etc. of the principal
million questions pertaining to the history,
countries of the world.
Last year in a September issue of the magazine
LIFE, I saw a picture of President Roosevelt's desk
of Essential Information." Evidently it was one of the
and on which appeared his copy of "The Lincoln Library
reference books that he was keeping at his elbow.
We have just brought off the press our new 1941
edition. It is the last word in up-to-dateness and ac-
curacy. In the package to which this letter is attached,
there is a copy of our new 1941 edition of The Lincoln
Library. Please open the package, remove the copy of The
Lincoln Library and present it to President Roosevelt with
my compliments. I hope during the years to come that on
many occasions he will open it with anticipation and close
it with satisfaction.

Dear Sir:
I am taking the liberty of sending The President a
gift for his Christmas dinner -- a new ice cream,
created by A. R. Sanna, famous dairy engineer, and
named by him "President's Frozen Pudding."
The ice cream, packed in dry ice which will keep it
frozen 36 hours from the time it leaves, is coming
to you by Air Express, special delivery, via United
Air Lines. It leaves Boeing Field, Seattle on Tuesday
and arrives in Washington Wednesday evening.
We will appreciate it greatly if you will tend to
the package upon its arrival.
Sincerely,
S.g. Powell
