Dear Mr. President:-
Enclosed you will please find pencil drawing
of yourself which was made by me. I am going to the
Eighth Grade next term of school, at Junion High School
in Farrell, and am 13 years old. I am very much in-
terested in this work and would like to go to school
to learn to draw better if I have the opportunity.
I hope you will like this drawing and that you will
be pleased with it.
Very respectfully yours,

I have received your letter of July
twentieth.
The President's time since his return
from his vacation on the New England Coast has
been so tremendously occupied with the many
urgent matters demanding his attention that it
was not possible to bring the calendar you were
kind enough to send to him, to his attention. I
am sure you will understand.

Dear Mr. President:
Please pardon this presumption in sending you this picture. It
is a very common one, just a magazine cover framed by a novice,
one of your constituency, in an humble way trying to do his part
in restoring times to a normal state.
This picture at a glance has a very insignificant meaning. How-
ever, when all this picture stands for is brought out it is signif-
icant of all we need at the present time.
It was said some two thousand years ago, 'How can anything good
come out of Na nreth?' The same question can be asked by forty
seven states and all the territories, "How can anything good come
out of Louisiana?" I answer, this question in this way: all of
Na: reth was not bad. will of Louisiana bad and if you can-
not find space on your walls for this picture send it to the manger
or to the garage. 'For verily I say, by their fruits ye shall know
them'.
Will say for myself I am 66 years of age, white, a Democrat, a Mason
a Methodist, a hard worker, hard hit by the depression. Am hitting
on all six, fighting for restoration of times to a normal state.
Most respectfully yours,
William. Lay

My dear Mr. Howe:
Attached herewith two
communications written by Mr. A.D.LaFontzee,
1021 North Logan St. Lansing, Michigan, one
of which is addressed to the President, and
the other to the Postmaster.
Mr. LaFontzee is the maker
of a type of water wing, and he desires that
same may be available for the enjoyment of
the President. In this I might add his
sincerity is unquestionable, proof of which
is evidenced in his communication to this office
in which he desires that no publicity be
made relative to his gift. He simply is a
very great admirer of our President, and if
he may serve in this way to add to his enjoy-
ment of life, he is content.
This office hesitated, at
first, to comply with his request, but he was
so sincere and so insistent, we are handling the
mailing for him. He was under the impression
that if the mailing were made by him direct
that same would not come to the attention
of the President.
If the device does contribute
to the enjoyment of our Chief, we are glad to
have acted as agents to that end. However, we
are submitting the gift to you for transmission
to the President.

Dear Governor:
Emile Long has been doing Cardinal
Hayes's watch and clock work for many years
and His Eminence was interested in a remarkable
clock Mr Long had in his shop. He asked me to
look at the clock, keeping in mind that perhaps
it would please you.
Mr Long and his sons wish to pre-
sent you with this clock, a picture of which is
enclosed herewith. X The clock is over 100 years
old and, as you will notice, King Neptune sur-
mounts the time piece. The ship that you will
see in the picture actually rolls as if at sea.
The clock itself is solid bronze.
Mr Long would like very much to
present this clock to you either at Hyde Park
or wherever you designate. Of course, the old
gentleman would be most happy if he could make
the presentation personally, and I told him I
would ask you to let him do so.
I know you are pestered to death
with such things, but since the Cardinal
thought the clock was a thing of beauty and
since I believe it represents something you
have a real interest in, I am taking the
liberty to place the matter before you.
If Miss Lehand or Mack will let
me know, I shall be happy to produce Mr Long
and his clock any time and any place you
mention.
With the very best of best wishes,
believe me

Dear Mr. Roosevelt:
The Young Men's Democratic Club of
Collinsville, Illinois are so proud of their organization
that they saw fit to tell many people about themselves thru
the means of a float, a picture of which is being sent you
under separate cover, at the Collinsville Homecoming held
Friday, August 18th.
A crowd of over 5,000 persons saw the
parade and our float was the talk of the town.
You can count on the support of the
Young Men's Democratic Club of Collinsville Township all
the time.
Sincerely yours,
Vernon Lucas

Upon our return to the White House, we found

to indicate ownership by the President and myself.
As the President is a pipe smoker and as,
coincident with the receipt of the tobacco, he
received seven pipes, one for each day of the
week, I rather imagine he will make very good
use of your gift.
While I am not a pipe smoker, members of my

friends to bring their pipes.

Dear Mr. McIntyre:
Knowing that His Excellency, President Roosevelt, enjoys
a. pipe of good tobacco, we are sending to you, with request that you
deliver to The President, with our Compliments, a keg of "BRIGGS PIPE

of high grade smoking tobaccos ever assembled; a. product of the oldest
Tobacco Company in existence.
Please accept our assurance that this is in no way whatso-
ever an advertising or publicity stunt.
Chairman James A. Farley suggested to a member of our
organization that through you we could doubtless have our little gift
of a keg of "BRIGGS" presented to The President in person.
Perhaps you too enjoy a pipe of good tobacco; so we are
including a keg of "BRIGGS" for your own use, in appreciation of your

Dear President:-
I am enclosing a tiny addition to the gifts
you have received from your many admirers. I
designed and made this eagle of beads, and what it
stands for quite expresses my sentiments.
Do you agree that most of us like to talk
about ourselves? I am ninety-three years of age,
the oldest woman in the Woman's Club of Denver, spend
part of my mornings making bead flowers, and take a
long street car ride nearly every day. I feel as
young as any of the other "girls" with whom I often
play cards, and enjoy a game as much as -- shall I
say Culbertson? In fact, I enjoy every moment of
my life.
In closing, I'm for you 100%.
Very respectfully yours,
Marie La bount

and told him that I had a box of South Carolina
pecans for the President. I asked him how I might
best send them in order to insure their reaching
him. He suggested that I send them through you.
So when you get the box, take a crack at them your-
self and if you think they are good for the President's
cold, pass them along to him together with the en-
closed note.
