While the President is grate- ful to all of those who desire to present gifts to him, he does feel that his acceptance of them should be limited to tokens of small intrinsic value and that he should not accept articles of considerable worth or gifts of handwork on which the donor has necessarily spent a great deal of time and personal effort. Neither does he feel that he should accept articles that have been made at great personal sacri- fice, Therefore, the pictures are being returned pp79-P under separate cover and it is suggested that perhaps Mr. Kracke can sell them in addition to the six hun- dred pictures to which you refer. I am sure that Mr. Kracke will understand that although it is not possible to accept these pic- tures, his friendly thought is nonetheless most grati- fying. Very sincerely yours, Grace G.

Very truly yours, Hyman Bernstein Hyman Bernstein 1312 South Hope Street Los Angeles 12, California Los Angeles, California August 22, 1944 Franklin Delano Roosevelt, President United States of America Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: You remember that Mr. Hyman Bernstein represented about three thousand deaf persons in Los Angeles during the election of 1936. There are about 7000 deaf persons here now. They are employed at aircraft plants in Los Angeles County and I will tell them to vote for you as president again in November. Now I wish to tell you that Mr. Henry Fred Ernst Kracke a deaf mute and aged about 80 and says that he wishes to present gifts of pictures of statues of liberty, pictures of Jefferson, also pictures of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Gandhi and two pictures of yourself with banners of American Flags and Eagle. I think that you will like them. He made them himself and they are hand sewn. He said that your pictures were not fitted to make faces from advertising magazines but these are a likeness of your face. Mr. Kracke was born in Steyerberg, Hanover, Germany on October 30, 1863. He left Germany for U.S. on February 23, 1888 when he was 25 years old and arrived in New York City. He stayed at Ellis Island for U.S. Immigration for two hours. He met President Grover Cleveland at Ellis Island as his German friend from New York City came to see him on time so he spoke to his German friend in the German language while President listened to him, then he asked to be allowed to enter the United States and the president passed him to enter. He became an American citizen on June 25th, 1900. Mr. Kracke married his deaf bride (Adele Gasaque) in Los Angeles in June 6th, 1893. He lives in Los Angeles and has lived here since 1893. His wife died in April 22, 1938. Mr. Kracke has been a tailor since he was 14 years old. He made about 600 beautiful colored patterns and designs for 8 years. When you get the packages you will have wood frames and glasses for pictures and photographs if necessary. I am sending you package of pictures and photograph of Mr. Henry Kracke today.

Dear President Roosevelt: is? Thank you very much for your encouraging letter of September 18. 1 am touring Canada with my paintings, and at present they are exhibited at the Art Gallery of Toronto; which is well re- ceived by the Canadian people. The next exhibit- ion will open on "China Day" October 10 in Ottawa at the National Gallery of Canada. Then this ex- hibition will go to Hamilton, Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Victoria. I am coming back to the United States next summer to exchange more ideas with your people. I am on my own with the help of Mr. Lau Wing Siu in giving these various exhibitions. I have a strong feeling that if the people of the West have more contact with the East, the two peo- ple will understand more of each other. Although my strength and Mr Lau's are limited, but we are giving our best effort and have opened a road for those of the future. May the different countries in the years to come send similar good will tours so as to promote a closer cultural relationships among the countries of the world. Since the Eagle has spread out its wings for nearly three years, I am sure peace and right- eousness will prevail very soon. Wishing you the greatest success in the coming campaign. Very sincerely yours, Chang Kim-i
