Dear Mr. President,
You don't know me out, just to De different,
instead 01 asking lor something irom you, I propose making a gift
to you. It you will nave it.
II the snock is too great and you should question
my sanity, you might question Harry Hopkins concerning my dependability.
He will recall that I was a former neighbor who came from the Harvard
School of Education to teach at the Scarborough School. Previously
I lived in Geneseo, was a staunch Republican and an admirer of "Jimmy"
Wadsworth. I am now pulling for you in my own little way.
The Bift I am offering you is a copy of college
text I nave co-edited. I submit it as a means of passing your periods
OI relaxation, ii any, and because it represents a new deal in
education. It was designed primarily for the courses olfered nere
at the Junior college where we are training students, in two years
time, to enter the semi-professions. You will note from the enclosed
announcement that the book aiffers greatly from the usual literary
anthology studied oy freshman.
While preparing for classes I am to meet tomorrow,
I reviewed the article "New Shirts For Old" by George J. Anaerson and
Iouna that the latter part it aptly iitted the point 01 view of
your new deal. Hence I take this opportunity 01 calling it to your
attention. Ii you will accept a copy 01 this text I shall De olad to
nave the Oxford Press send you one.
In passing may I say that I was delighted to read
an account of your new policy relative to subsistence Iarms for ais-
tressed workers and their tamilies, as reported in today's papers.
For several months I nave been gathering material on that topic for a
magazine article. I feel that most workers want a chance more than
they want charity. The subsistence farm will give them a chance pro-
life. viaing they are prepared to meet the specific aemands of this type 01
More power to you. Go to it. We on the west coast
have great confidence in you. But by all means take care of your health.
I recently asked a class of thirty-five student the question, "Who is
our Vice-President?" Four of them knew.

Your Excellency:-
A famous Chinese-American painter,
whose name is Sui Wesley Chan, has done a painting
which symbolizes the great work which the "New Deal"
has accomplished since you have brought new hopes,
new dreams to the people of America.
I am a lover of the Arts and my art
studio is quite often the center where artistsgather
and discuss with admiration the great accomplishment
of your administration. It was at one of these dis-
cussions that I conceived the idea of asking Mr. Chan
to make a painting which should portray you and the
New Deal.
I am enclosing a photograph of this
painting.
It would be a great honor and a
pleasure for me to present this painting to you at
the White House.
I trust that I may be accorded this
privilege.

My Dear Mr. Howe:
Have been trying to get a nice moose roast for
the President, having been informed that it is one of his
favorite dishes, and finally, through my good friend Art
A. Shonbeck who lives in Anchorage, which country is surr-
ounded by moose and mountain sheep, succeeded in having
this quarter of moose meat forwarded on the boat which is
passing through Juneau today enroute to Seattle.
I also had him include a nice quartevo of mountain
sheep which I consider one of the most delectable wild meats
there is.
After the President has sampled it I would be
pleased to receive his comment on same.
Mr. Shonbeck is going to Washington during his trip
outside, accompanied by his wife, Ann and they are both delight-
ful people to meet. I am not giving him any letter of intro-
duction to you as his business will probably be confined to
our Delegate, Mr. Dimond and I realize that you are very busy
with pressing business matters at the present time.
I trust that the meat will arrive in good condition
and that you will both enjoy it. Mr. J. J. Connors, our
National Committeeman from Alaska joined me in having it shipped
to you.

My Dear Mr. Roosevelt;
I am sending to you, by Express, a plaster statuette,
which I call Uncle Sam's Pride" I wanted to get it finished

in time for your birthday, but illness prevented my doing so.
However, as my seventyeth birthday will occur on March 25, I am
sending this little statuette in celebration of that event, the
work is entitrely by my own hands, as I designed, modeled, cast
and bronzed it, no other hands have touched it.
My birthday is of little importance except to my own family, but
there is another sentimental reason for my sending this little
tribute to you, I am a decendant of Sir Humphrey Gilbert, who
while exploring the coast of Maine, in I583, went down in his
little ship "The Squirrel".
As a decendant of that "Great Adventurer", I am sending this token,
this gage of knight-hood, to you Sir Knight, "The Great Adventurer
in the New Deal".
Would that I had the power, the strenght of the Kings of old to
aid you in your glorious adventure Sir Franklin, Couer de Leon,

My Dear Mr. Roosevelt;
I have written the enclosed letter myself, to avoid
unnecessary publicity, so I ask you to pardon its appearance.
I have taken the liberty of telling my friend Senator Bulkley
of my intention as I think he will be interested. His mother
was a friend of mine too.
As a matter of public policy I have made the packing case with
a glass window in the front, so that the contents may be seen and
inspected by all those who may handle it. Because of that fact it
was necessary to pack it in a peculiar way, for that reason I am
sending directions for the unpacking.
Will you be kind enough to pass these directions on to the person
who receives such things, Thankyou.

Dear Mr. President:-
This letter accompanies the first edition, in fact the
first copy uncased, of a new history of the Old Town of Monterey,
with the compliments of the author, Laura Bride Powers. It will
refresh your memory of a region you visited more than a decade
ago.
I have been named chairman of a committee whose object
is to secure your visit to the old Spanish and Mexican capital,
where our Flag was first officially raised over California -- if
the good rumor is proved true, that you anticipate sailing
through the canal to the Pacific Coast this summer.
Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, McKinley and Harrison
all visited this place so dearly held in the affection of
Californians during their incumbencies. It is almost in the
nature of things that when a President comes to this coast on a
war vessel, he stops at Monterey for a day or more.
We look forward to the day when the rumor of your
proposed visit to the Pacific Coast is verified as a fact; and
we anticipate with that verification the great and good news
that the people of Central California will greet you here at the
place where they would be happiest to see you.
Respectfully and cordially yours,
allen Smiffin

His Excellency,
The President of the United States,
The White House,
Washington, D. C.
Sir:-
Will you kindly permit me to send you under
separate cover copy of a book which I have written on
the American Law of Wills and Administration, appear-
ing in the well-known series of Leske-Loewenfeld: "Die
Rechtsverfolgung im internationalen Verkehr", Carl
Heymanns Verlag, Berlin ?
The said book, which is in the German langu-
age, serves as a book of reference to courts and law-
yers in Germany and to the German-language consulates
in this country. As far as I know, it is the only
German-language book on American Inheritance Law.
May I. add that I am a German lawyer and have
been advising for the past twenty years American law-
yers on questions of German and international law. I
am also a member of the Faculty of Law, New York Uni-
versity, lecturing on Comparative American and German
Commercial Law. Until his death in 1924 I was asso-
ciated in German legal matters with the late Carl L.
Schurz, Esq., son of the well-known American states-
man and friend of President Lincoln, Carl Schurz. Up
to recently I was for a number of years Counsel to the
Agent of Germany, Mixed Claims Commission, United
States and Germany, in connection with which work I be-
came particularly familiar with American law, although
I am not a member of the Bar in this country. I am an
American citizen.

Law was welcomed in Germany, receiving
juristic periodicals. It is furthermore proven by the
way in which the book on American Jurisdiction was re-
ceived, which Professor K. N. Llewellyn of Columbia
University published recently in Germany and which
aroused there quite a little attention. This exchange
of legal knowledge I believe is to be welcomed highly,
as one of the means to advance international understand-
ing and good will in which you are so highly interested.
I trust that I am not immodest when adding
that my book was very well reviewed in some of the lead-
ing law journals in this country.
The Southern California Law Review, January
1934 issue, said e. g. :
"As an impartial commentary on American Probate
Law and a critical survey of the essential prin-
ciples and distinctions to be found in the vari-
ous States, it deserves a place among the lead-
ing reference treatises on the subject
Considered as a whole, the volume is decidedly
unique among treatises on the American law of
wills and administration. Even after allowances
are made for obsolescence due to the ever-chan-
ging nature of the field, the book remains re-
markably accurate in its presentation of a. pic-
ture of the fundamental distinctions underlying
the laws of the various States. The method of
-3-
such presentation is one which might well
be followed by American text writers."
May I express the hope, Sir, that the book
referred to will find a place in your library ?
I have the honor to remain, Sir,
Most respectfully yours,
