Dear Mr Early:
You wrote me on April 17 of last year that I
might publish in a book a private letter which was written
1
me some years ago by President Roosevelt, I have reproduced
this letter of President Roosevelt in Possum Trot, recently
issued by the University of Oklahoma Press. Today I am send-
you a copy of that book for the President, whom I inscribe
as a "Statesman for Possum Trot and the World. " The letter
as cuoted "with permission" can be seen in the last section,
which has the title "Possum Trot Papers. " This work seeks
in part to bridge the gap between our folk ways and our
state ways, which seems important to me both in peace and
in war. I trust that at some possible convenient time my
little book can be brought to the attention of the Presi-
dent. I believe he will like its point and spirit as well
as the picture on the jacket. It comes by express.

TO HIS EXCELLENCY, FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT
Dear Mr. Roosevelt.
One morning in March 1939, I sat musing at the breakfast
table, toying with the handle of my coffee cup, after a
aekd
while, I noticed as I tilted the cup towards me the coffee
5/13/42
dregs had been fashioned into a picture, SO plainly was the
BL
picture, delicately depicted in a fine weblike tracery, I
decided to copy it. I enlarged it about three times its size
as it WaS only about two inches up and down. Then I placed
the cup in a strawberry basket upside down and took it over
to an artist friend and asked him to draw the picture he
saw in the cup, both pictures were identical, excepting for
the fact that my powerful imagination had placed the dots
that formed the blaze at the top of the Egyptian flag had
been missed by his practical dr-ftmanship and the aura of
dots forming the sun or earth whichever it could be de-
scribed as was not in his copy. A little bear sitting
at the left, I did not think to be essentially necessary
as I was merely going to call it my coat of arms. As I
had been trying to plan one in my mind for a couple of
weeks and thought maybe it had been sent that way to me.
But every three or four months as I take a look at that
picture, it has more than ever become SO real to me
that it is a royal flush card for the United Nations.
One night when I had finished the picture in class, I
was thinking and the artist saked me what script I would
place on the scroll at the bottom, I'm not quite ready to
say yet, some Hebrew characters I replied.
The next two class evenings I just did not feel like
going, Friday morning on opening my eyes, the picture
as a slide passed before my eyes and a sweet voice said
"Victory". So Victory in Latin it was.
It was then I really decided to take it seriously
that the war had something to do with an Egyptian victory.
The lion waving the Egyption Flag fastened to a flaming torch.
Then the scorpion rising from its coil on the calf's back,
The American Indian, pushing away the Japanese robe.
The calf or Taurus the Bull as Astrologers call it,
sitting above a chest with the rosetta stone attached
which represents the first language of the world, is
that right, is attached to a chest covered with a golden
scarf representing the riches of the world.
I am not a medium astrologer or fortune teller, but a.
vision I had this morning gave me the idea this picture
might interest you. Perhaps some one of a pensive nature
might be able to interpret it to its full extent, per-
haps Mrs. Roosevelt as she was born in the same month
as I. March has a way of doing nice things for me.
This is very choice to me and if it does not interest you
en closed are return stamps.
Sincerely I am,
Ethel Pritchard Nicknson

We thought you might be interested in seeing some of the
material we have prepared. In our Sunday Book Section of
June 14 we are devoting the center spread to sixteen books
that we and the publishers feel will bring a better under-
standing of our Allies and their problems.
Under separate cover we have sent you an enlargement of
this advertisement, reproduced in color. This poster has
been sent to practically every important bookstore in the
United States -- at the suggestion of the American Book-
sellers' Association.
We wish to acknowledge the inspiration and help given us by
Mr. Chester W. Kerr, of the Office of Facts and Figures.
We hope that our efforts have been in complete accord with
what you desired from the book industry.

Sir,
The accompanying treatise on Chinese Jade is respectfully tendered
for acceptance by you, Mr. President as an addition to your personal
library.
It is thought that the purpose of the work being inspired in the
service of the Public, and brought into being as a contribution to
Public Education, that its contents will perforce be of unusual interest
to you Sir: especially so, as the subject matter of the bulk of the
text throws enlightenment upon the cultural edificies of a most valued
Ally of the present day and for perpetuality records the inner virtues
of a recent addition to Public Art Projects of National importance in
the United States of America.
I have the honour to remain, Sir
Most respectfully yours,
STANLEY CHARLES NOTT
