Dear Grace:
The package is a book-"Thirty
Seconds Over Tokyo" by Captain Ted Lawson.
Captain Lawson, as you know, was one of the
fliers who bombed Tokyo.
I am godfather to Ted's child
and am very fond of the boy. He thought it
would be very nice for the President to have
one of his books. So here it is, and it will
make the boy very happy.
With kindest wishes,
Sincerely,

Dear Miss Tully:
Ihave delayed replying to your letter of August
10 in regard to the clay figure and I have delayed
sending it, because I have been anticipating a business
trip to Washington.
In that event I wanted to bring the clay figure
with me and thus avoid any possible breakage or damage
in transit. My trip has been delayed for one reason
or another, but it is now rather definite that I shall
be in Washington on Thursday, September 9, for one
day.
I shall bring the clay figure to Washington and

in the meantime I wish you would write me here and
tell me what to do with it when I get there.

Dear Mister President:
From pictures and press reports you like a lot of little
gadgets on your desk; you get a kick out of them and at times they are
useful to you in your way of indicating answers to some of your callers
and to the press and so on.

One of the Mexico City newspapers carried a very clever
cartoon of Uncle Sam, Hitler and a Mexican Native. Here stands Uncle
Sam in all his pose, looking out from between his long legs is the native
and over to one side, sitting on the side of a portion of the world (which
makes the base for this piece of drawing) is Hitler and the Mexican Native
is sticking out his tongue giving Hitler the raspberry. I had this
made into a clay figure or statuary piece and its quite clever. I
brought it back with me. If you would like to have this among like things
on your desk I shall be glad to send it to you. I would not want to send
it without first ascertaining if you would like it and thus take the chance
of having it side-tracked or misplaced.
Sincerely yours
C. D. Hicks,
President.

US Senate Office Building,
Dear Harry:
discouraged and frightened.hey are holding on to their cattle Farmers are

Supplementing mytter recently about the farm situation especially
next to get their moneut of them and npne of them to take selling
an especially effort cattle to bring m up to the best weights possible before and hogs, and in
1944 year and this is going mean a terrible reduction in plan cattle and hogs the risk during
and 1945.
hog and situation and the lack confidence in OPA among the farmers, they are scared and
With all the units and turmoil and unrelaible status of the cattle
they are not as strong the President as at one time; an unbelievable number
of them are lost to him. en they get their cattle and hogs down to a small base
they will not re-build and oduce next year. You better believe me.
With hog feed coing three to four cents per pound and with only
one to two pounds put on ea hog per day, there is little consolation in the
maximum of $14.75; they can make money, and especially with allowances for loss
in hogs due to disease and ath. Figure it out for yourself. With corn as high
as it is, Rye $1.35 and Oat:around $1.00 per bushel farmers can't make money
with a ceiling of $14.75, bLieve me. Farmers can't make money with cattle at its
low level. The celing on has should be not less than $15.25 and the floor should
be not lower than $14.25. here should be a ceiling on all grades of live stock
of the cattle type and that should be at least one to one and half cents higher
than the market today and the floor should be one to one and half cents below that.
Nothing less than this will pacify the farmers and nothing less than this will
enable us to provide the nati on with meats next year and the next. Better have
enough to eat, even if the price of foods must go higher; better pay a little more
than to have people hungry and people can do without and will do without most
any other class of food; take their meat away from them and that is somthing else.
So, if necessary to control the situation and at the same time be assured of
meats, the government should purchase all hogs and cattle for slaughter at a
fixed ceiling and a fixed floor price, even if the government must in turn sell
to the packer and processor for less. This live stock production is serious.
The lack of farm labor contributes to that production and so does the lack of
farm machinery and all of this is in addition to the cost of feed.
Better do somthing about this soon and in a definite way.
Sincerely yours,
C. D. Hicks.

Mr. Roosevelt:
A fair exchange is no robbery. I have a friend, semi invalided,
64 yrs. no children. Hobby - handkerchiefs. She wants one of yours, used
preferably. She has given me flowers for 5 yrs. for my mothers grave.
Money wont buy nor pay for some things.
I am sending you a Christmas card around 1880 sent to the lady
who organized crippled Home Noon Day Rest, Chicago. Mrs. A. W. Holmes.
Also a cup and saucer. You like to see the white caps come in. My great-
grandfather was a whaling captain - 7 sons - 5 lost at sea. Captain Kilmer,
Captain Charles (relative Joyce Kilmer) bought a set of dishes - sent to
Chicago on Merchantship - sunk 1866-1896. Captain Randolph salvaged and
sent box to my grandmother - all broken but saucers. Is this American?
My father went on a note 43 yrs. later the man paid. My grandmother
took blankets, etc. to people in a tent in Jan. thirty yrs. later
when pairing they drove down alley - mud hole. A man after dark filled
hole with cinders. When my grandmother thanked him he replied "I'm
the man you brought the blankets to".
Don't send a signature. You wrote me when I electioneered for
Al Smith. I was offered $10 if you had been President. I might forget
I was a descendent of a Lord Mayor Koudon, Quartermaster General of the
U.S. (Thos. Jessup) could carry 7 bars when joined Daughters. More than
any woman. Wrote to 500 soldiers in last war and had best Red Cross in
South West and sell out my commander in chief.
My father is 90 has voted the Demo. ticket since 21 - straight.
When you were elected and Kans. and Co. went Democratic he said he was
ready to die. However, noe he wants to see the Germans get what
Lincoln said, war the most terrible thing in the world Justice.
My fathers father was a Major - southern: Hitler said the Germans came
over to help the Union they came to steal when the Major was away
a German CO burned the house took Mrs. H's shoes - 10 day old babys
clothes. However in 30 mintues Quantrill came along and justice was
done. My father hated Germans for 81 yrs. He is waiting to see them
treated in a real American way. The Indians when mistreated use to
skin a man and leave him to die. There's where the word rawhide
originated. Theres a stream named that. I thank you.

There's a mystery, there's a magic, there's

selfish gain as loss.

THE SONG (excerpt) FOR FREEDOM
A little boy of heavenly birth,
But far from home today,
Music is born in an instant,
Comes down to find his ball, the earth,
Music is born of years,
That sin has cast away.
Music is child of laughter,
0 comrades, let us one and all
Music is child of tears.
Join in to get him back his ball!
None may tell of the moment
When out of the open sky
John B. Tabb
Men are touched with greatness
MY GARDEN
By the music of destiny.
Stand you, reverent and thankful,
My garden is a place enclosed,
Do this high moment no wrong,
Green walls on every side,
When silently into the heart of a man
There flowers bloom,
Glides the gift of a song.

Mr. Steve Early,

White House,
Washihington, D.C.
Dear Mr. Early:
Ben Franklin, the California artist, is
putting finishing touches on an unusual painting of a tuna
fishing clipper fighting its way back to port through a
heavy storm.
From what I have seen at the White House
xppt
and from what we all know of the president's interest in
q-P
such things, I believe it would give the president at
least some momentary pleasure to see this picture.
(
A very limited number of reproductions of
the painting are being made, and my impulse is to ask
that one be mailed to the President.
K owing what a mass of mail must be sent
to the president, I thought you might advise me
as to just how and to whom it should be addressed to
minimize the chance of its being tossed in the waste
basket.
Sincerely yours,

To the head of our Nation and the only third

free Republic, the "Home of the Brave and
the Land of the Free", the Commander in Chief
of our Armed Heroic Knights of the 20th
Century all over the Globe, who save and pro-
tect the brave, freedom loving Peoples, I
send this valuable and rare index of the great-
est book of mankind.
This book is about the oldest freedom-loving
Nation, which survived 2000 years of persecution
and was given an opportunity, twenty-five years
ago, to rebuild its devastated Homeland and
the cradle of Civilization. From this Nation
the Gospel of Peace and Freedom sounded thou-
sands of years ago. It was the only Democratic
Nation surrounded by hordes of barbaric Nations,
and with the Grace of God it succeeded to live to
this day, when with the aid of our great
Democracy it will be possible to create and main-
tain your Four Freedoms for all Humanity.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and
your family.

more immediately accessible to

Dear Mr. President:
This letter is written by a backwoods farmer without benefit of ghost
writers, reference libraries, advisory boards or secretaries. According to my
recollection several years ago a New Deal Congress, at your instigation,
enacted into statute a bill which provided for the levying of a processing tax
for the purpose of raising funds in order to bribe the farmers not to work.
Under the provisions of this legislative masterpiece farmers were paid to let
their corn and cotton land lie idle, and for reducing their cattle herds and
other livestock.
In conformity to this unusual theory of economic scarcity, but relying
upon the infallibility of your administration and its multitude of experts, the
undersigned went into the "not raising" hog business. Unfortunately however
I picked the wrong breed of hogs Wnot to raise", wrong to this extent, they grew
too fast. In strict adherence to the "not raising" hog business, one should of
course "raise" only runts. So I did not make any money, not only because I
picked the wrong breed of hogs "not to raise", but I failed to "not raise" them
insufficient numbers to make it profitable.
Now your experts have gotten me into another dilemma. A few months ago
these same experts, who formerly paid us 'not to raise" hogs, made frantic patriotic
appeals for more pork. So I again went into the hog business, only this time I
intended to raise all I could instead of "not raising" them. At the present time
I have thirty-four hogs on hand. Grain is SO expensive that I can no longer afford
to feed them. Neither can I let them starve. I cannot eat thirty-four hogs
myself. I cannot sell them to the packing houses because they are already full
and the meat tickets of the economic royalists are insufficient to consume the meat
as fast as it is produced and killed. I cannot sell them to private consumers who
are crying for meat, because that would be in violation of bureaucratic directives
exemplefying the omniscient judgment of the O.P.A. So the only manner in which I
can legally dispose of them is to give them away.
Having done so much for the
farmer I think there should be some reciprocation. Now that I have something to
give away I want you to have the honor of receiving the first. I am therefore
sending you one nice pig, express prepaid. No doubt Vice-President Wallace and
Secretary Jones will be glad to butcher this pig for you, unless you think it
inadvisable to trust them together with knives. The pig should reach you in time
for your Christmas dinner, unless the date for observing peace on earth good will
toward men, is changed by executive proclamation.

hogs as fast as they are produced
