Believe it or not they have been blooming right out

Dear Sir:
3/21/21
Nation
Your letter just to hand. I had hoped my
book would reach The President before he left
for his Warm Springs trip--but I am afraid it
did not. Read this letter to him, wont you?
Wont you see that he gets it on his return,
r
SO he can take it on his fishing trip? But be-
n.
fore giving it to him will you please correct
the word follower-I have a faint fear that I
,
spelled it 'follerer'. No matter how I spelled
,
it I am an ardent follower of his, and as a
voter I approve of his plan whereby he will
stand a chance of cooperation from The S. C.
He will carry us through this time of strife I
know, but we all have to work with him.
I would rather see compulsory retirement of
The Justices at Seventy rather than new mem-
bers added. That law made if possible SO it
could not be repealed, except by the people.
That would give President Roosevelt the reap-
pointment of six new Justices (wouldn't it) it
would be all right to let him do that with the
approval of the House and Senate, for we are
perfectly safe in his brilliant hands. But a
thought should be given to the future.
If President Roosevelt enjoys my novel "The
White Cowl" wont you ask him to write me a line
saying a good word and let me use it? I hope to
have other notable's praise to add to it.
Please tell him I think he is doing wonder-
ful work for this great country of ours.
Yours truly.

Surely you will not mistake the send-

in it a moment of relaxation from the burdens
of more weighty affairs.

His Excellency, The President;
The Little White House;
Warm S prings, Georgia;
Dear Mr. Roosevelt;
We had so hoped and prayed that you might be able to come
by to see us on this trip. For many weeks we looked forward
to the time. We are still hoping for another day.
THe "Treasure Album! which you will receive with this letter,
was made up specially for you, Our President. The Album
came off the press last Augusta, but friends thought it
best for me to delay sending you one. I had been appointed
to hand this copy to you in person, when you thought the
chance good to come by our way. But it may be that by sending
it on to you now, you will become so eager to visit our
historic old capital, that next fall a special day will be
provided for you to come over from Warm Springs. We are
just living for that day.
So, this copy, bound specially for you, is in your hands.
It takes with it, from us to you, all the appreciation
and admiration that we hold in our hearts for you. Let it
speak for us, and we know you will decide that you cannot
afford NOT to come to see us this fall.
Is it too much to ask that " The Album" receive a letter
from YOU, sent to its editor?
You are used to seeing many flags waving, but you have YET
to see our White-Way posts decorated with 01d Glory. You
have that to live for, Mr. President. We got them specially
for you r visit. We will use them when you come in the fall.
With all the best wishes in the world for you, your family,
and our United States. We are behind you down in Georgia.
Yours Appreciatively,
Nelle Worrack Hines

Dear Mr. President:
and
I intended having some fruit awaiting your
4/16 ES
arrival at Warm Springs but some National Emergency
Council work keeping me at the State Capitol prevented
and I am only able to send it today, to reach you Monday.
May I ask that you give instructions that this
fruit, particularly the oranges, be served to you be-
tween meals, or whenever you would like it. These
particular oranges are of such excellent flavor that I
am anxious for you to know when you get the juice from
this lot. These are seedless and I am sure you would
enjoy the orange meat, have the orange peeled as you
would an apple and cut it in half cross grain, and then
eat it as, you would an apple. After eating two or three
of these at one sitting you will probably want a wash-
bowl.
It is good to know that you are SO nearby, so
close to us, and hope that your stay there will be a
real rest stay.
Respectfully, Willorkaw Kins,
