Honorable F. D. Roosevelt,
The White House,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. President:
I am presenting to you a frame containing
three (3) prints of Washington, Martha Washington and Lincoln
acquired from an estate in the course of our art business.
To my mind this frame sculptured of bronze
in an original design of patriotic significance represents
artistically the precious ideals in whose defense you are
guiding our nation at this critical time. Our flag, surmounted
by the eagle of freedom with the navy engaged in their protec-
tion seems a timely symbolism.
As an ordinary, private citizen this small

gift is my humble means of expressing unbounded admiration for
and faith in your leadership and ultimate victory over the forces
of evil.

Sir:
The Department encloses a copy of a letter
addressed to the President by Mr. Javier Adolfo Mon-
tero, Professor at the Instituto Civica-Militar and
the Instituto de Reeducación de Inútiles del Trabajo.
With this communication there was forwarded an embossed
leather desk pad as a gift from the Professor to the
President, apparently as an expression of his admira-
tion.
You are requested to acknowledge with appreciation
the receipt of this gift by the President but at the
same time to explain to the donor that it is contrary
to his established practice to accept gifts from persons
with whom he is not personally acquainted. The expression
of the Professor's sentiments is nevertheless sincerely
appreciated.
Arrangements are being made with the Customs Office
at Washington for the return of the pad.
Very truly yours,

Honorable Mr.President:
A Cuban professor and artist, probably
of very little importance, congratulates you upon your election
for a third term, and this by my whole heart, as I have been one
of the many of your admirers, who thinks that your administration
has been outstanding.
I have taken the liberty to send you
a small gift, a desk pad, made of embossed leather, and in which
I have made a picture of your dear Mother. I wish, at the same
time to express my admiration to her, for having given to the
United States and to the world, a son who represents, by his ac-
tions, the highest defense for justice and liberty.
I sincerely hope you will accept this
work, as it represents my best efforts, and my esteem for you and
your Nation.
Enclosed is & photograph of the work
and the shipping documents.
My hope is that the Almighty God may
continue to guide you for the good of the people of the United
States of America and for humanity,
Respectfully yours,

(With Reference to Following Letter: Painting Is Being Sent Via
Insured Railway Express Handling, Under Dateline of Oct 5, 1940)
Your Excellency:
I fervently hope that you will accept as yours this token of
my appreciation for you as an American and as a fellow human being.
From its inception in one of the State Camps of California, in
1938, to the present day, I have never wavered in the faith and be-
lief in the sincerity of conviction which through the expression of
enthusiasm and inspiration gave it form and life.
In true humility of spirit, I beg you to make me a happy man
by accepting this picture.
I only designed the picture. The design and the drawing of it
became a reality through colors thanks to the cooperation of the
Dayton Art Institute.
In order that you have no reservations regarding acceptance,
please be assured of these things: all data, practice drawings con-
nected with picture, two unopened letters containing priority of
rights, etc., are your property; to do with as you see fit.
There have been no reproductions made of this picture or its
model. There is no scheme by which I can fill my coffers.
I am having a color (tinted) photo made of the picture for my
own personal records. I shall make sure that I retain the negative.
My own camera is not fitted for color work.
Please be advised that should you desire this photo for yourself
or ask that it be destroyed, - that will be done.
I want nothing to stand in the way
This is really your picture - not mine. It merely contains the
essence of my feelings about you. And that is but the life of human
beings - the communication of their feelings.
May the Heavenly Father, who guides our steps, be with me in my
prayer that this painting may become one of your most prized possess-
ions.
Respectfully yours,
February 26, 1941
My dear Mr. Marange:
This will acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of recent date to the President re-
garding the picture which you sent to him last
fall, for which a letter of appreciation was
addressed to you on October twenty-third.
Aside from the stipulation that its
acceptance is based on the condition that there
be no publicity in connection with its presenta-
tion, any decision as to making of reproductions
is a matter which is left to your own good judg-
ment.
Thank you very much indeed for the
courtesy of your inquiry.

I realize that it was ungracious of me not to have answered your

for my present of a picture to him.
My reasons were two-fold: first, I wanted to be sure of express-
ing the exact meaning I intended to communicate to you; and second, I
frankly feared the consequences, if your attitude toward this letter
were not what I assumed it would be.
I am enclosing a copy of the letter addressed to the president,
which was sent prior to the picture. I have marked the paragraph that
is the basis for today's letter.
Am I to understand by your silence on this 'paragraph' that I am
to retain the right to make at some future time - should I care to do
SO - a picture from the lithograph drawings contained in the letters
of priority right?
Please understand that it was not and is not my intention to con-
tradict any of the statements contained in the enclosed letter.
My question regarding the letters of priority rights, etc., is
raised because I hope and feel that the president may in the future de-
sire to have a professional artist prepare a lasting canvas that will
stand as a monument to the president's position in American affairs.
My financial inability to present my picture to the president in
the form of a great work of art, was and is one of the great disap -
pointments of my life. Some day the president will choose among the
gifts he has accumulated during his stay in the White House; and it is
because I realize that my picture in its present form does not deserve
a lasting place among his possessions, that I am writing this letter
to stress this 'paragraph'.
I know that neither you nor the president in these days of crisis
can be annoyed by frequent correspondence regarding this matter. In
closing, I repeat that the president made me very happy by his accept
tance of my gift. I want him to keep the picture. I am not asking
for the right to make a reproduction of it at any time, but am simply
asking for clarification of the president's position in regard to the
paragraph in question.
It is because I believe that you never received the enclosed let-
ter, that it became necessary to write the present letter.
Please convey my respects to the president, and thank you in ad-
vance for your reply.
Yours very truly,
Julius maranze

(With Reference to Following Letter: Painting Is Being Sent Via
Insured Railway Express Handling, Under Dateline of October 4th)
Your Excellency:
I fervently hope that you will accept as yours this token of
my appreciation for you as an American and as a fellow human being.
From its inception in one of the State Camps of California, in
1938, to the present day, I have never wavered in the faith and be -
lief in the sincerity of conviction which through the expression of
enthusiasm and inspiration gave it form and life.
In true humility of spirit, I beg you to make me a happy man
by accepting this picture.
I only designed the picture. The design and drawing of it
became a reality through colors thanks to the cooperation of the
the Dayton Art Institute.
In order that you have no reservations regarding acceptance,
please be assured of these things: all data, Instructions to the
artist, practice drawings connected with picture, two unopened let-
ters containing priority of rights, e tc., are your property; to
dowith as you see fit.
There have been no reproductions made of this picture or its
model. There is no scheme by which I can fill my coffers.
I am having a color (tinted) photo made of the picture for mty
own personal records. I shall make sure that I retain the negative.
My. own camera is not fitted for color work.
Please be advised that should you desire this photo for yourself
or ask that it be destroyed, - that it will be done.
I want nothing to stand in the way
This is really your picture - not mine. It merely contains the
essence of my feelings about you. And that is the life of human
beings - the communication of their feelings.
May the Heavenly Father, who guides our steps, be with me in my
prayer that this picture may become."of your most prized possessions.
Respectfully yours,

Dear President Roosevelt,
lackyol 222C Feb. 1941.
I, a Pole, who am born of Polish blood
but belong flesh and blood to the United States,
ann sending you, President Roosevelt and Mrs.
Roosevelt these few words of news, because you
are the parents of this country
after the death of my husband and five
children, l gave my life to the service of God,
and my neighbors Through a vision which
I had in my dreams l organized and order,
that is called The Creesaders of mary Imptical
Rose of Perpetical Help This order is notaconent
behind walls, but an organization for the
greater love and glory of God, and the equality
of the people.
Shortly after a group of people joined me,
so I sacrificed my wealth and life into
building a chapel under the same name.
The upkeep of this chapel is only through the
help of self offerings, since it does not belong
to any so called worddity organization but to
the Lord and the United States. Here we call the
people to the love of God and neighbor and
unity of all people.
l belonged to the Roman Catholic faith, but
my blood has been poisened by the truth of
Rome. so I drew away from this church,
when l saw the wrongs being done to the
people.
Where the United States helps the poor people,
the Roman Catholic church demands its dues,
even from the poor widows; thus making
Rome a pot of gold and at the same time
robbing our country. I build this chapel only
for the love of God and our country Jesus Christ
when He walked upon this earth said, "Give
to God what belongs to God, and the king, what
rightfully belongs to the king." The voice of
our Lord says, T here is but one God, and all the
children of this earth belong to Him." However
the organizations of this world only do good
for themselves and not the Lord. ace they
teach is hatred between the people. T hey
praise their own, but none abide by the
commandments of our Lord, which brings only
griene and more hatred between the people of
this earth. Through these doings our chapel also
is in the envirement of hatred because every
nationality can come and pray in it, as a home
which stands under the flag of freedom and
not any organized church.
The laws which Christ left us on this earth,
The Ten Commondments, are the foundation of
the faith of our Crussders; making it the
first home of God that actually stands upon
his laws. The laws of God all the people know
and only through them will they see the
light of God and love of their neighbor.
Cur orgnanization, The Grussders of the Blessed
mary mystical Rose of Perpetical Helps," pray with
all our strength that the people of our nation
stay united and that the United States, be
the foundation of unity of all the people
throughout the world, bringing love to all
world and conquering its evils.
Everything that we have build and
placed in this home of God, as smell as the
laws which govern us have come to us
through a vision We have no priests or
teachers to guide us, but only the voice of
the mother of Jesus Christ who stands beside
us, to deliver our country from our enemies.
We place a strong faith and prayers to
Jesus Christ our Lord, to stand beside you,
our Dear President Roosevelt, to helpand
juide you in all your undertakings, so that all
you to keep our country in the best of
your enemies and friends unite in helping
Condition. That is our prayer, wish and
undertaking
We have our enemies in different organi.
zations, but though me are critized because
of our believes and poorness, we placed our-
selves in the hands of the Lord and know
that we shall overcome them.
Our greatest wish is, that you President
Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt would visit
our humble chapel at your convenience, so
that you could verify everything that we have
told you.
Let your power and guidance President
Roosevelt be Jesus Christ, and the protector
of you dear President and our country be the
Blessed Virgin the mother of Heaven and Earth,
who descends upon this earth with Her love
to unite the nations. Let Her cover you with
Iter clook, so you will overcome our enemies,
and then this Ineen shall be the place of our
nation.
Except from us dear President Roosevelt
these few words we send you. We poor
dople are neglected by this world and
laughed at, but our great faith me have
received from our Lord will help us
outdcome all our hardships and fright,
for we have faith in our Lord
