My dear Mr. President:
May I take the liberty of enclosing herewith, as
a token of deep personal admiration, this hand picture
which is the work of my father, a seventy years old
Palestinian rabbi and artist.
May I express the hope that the humble picture, entirely
composed of Hebrew inscriptions and biblical quotations,
pleases you, since it represents, in its kind, a unique
symbol of the hopes and prayers of millions of people
all over the world for your health and the success of
your heroic efforts to establish righteousness among
all peoples.
Sincerely yours

Explanation of the Portrait
This unique portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the
United States of America, is entirely composed of Hebrew letters.
It is the work of a Palestinian rabbi, Abraham Niederland of
Rehoboth (Palestine), who after long and painstaking toil created
this extraordinary testimonial in honor of the President and his
heroic efforts to establish righteousness among all peoples.
The portrait contains the biography of the President and a
homage to his third election, written in Hebrew letters. You
start the reading at the head of the president, from right to left.
It begins with the words: "avoyn DDN 1 loved by the nations"
(Deuteron. 33.3), and expresses, in the classical wording of the
Bible, the author's love and admiration to the American people
and its great president.
The text is thoughtfully based on passages and quotations from
the Sacred Scripts, and quotes, between others, Proverbs, 28,
and Chulin, 4:
- "D"P"T" to nos 727 by D'upo SWID"
"A ruler who struggles for truth - a righteous people."

Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, N.Y. It would, there fore, be greatly appreciated if Major
Llewellyn would sent the President a complete set of the issues up to date to the Library
in Hyde Park. The President would like to have copy of each issue forwarded to the Library
in Hyde Park. Mr. Early said that by this means the entire file could be preserved per-
manently in the Library, where it would have an increasing value in the years ahead.
Attached is file memo. "Copies of the Stars & Stripes for June 20 and 27 sent to

The Queens Midtown Tunnel is one of the best examples of

Because of the important part you had in the project your
name has been memorialized on the granite tablets erected

Dear Mr. President:
Your stirring address to the youth of the nation
and your interest in their welfare which both you and Mrs.
Roosevelt have shown on many occasions prompts me to mail you
a few prints taken from a large collection submitted by high
school students for the third National High School Salon of
Photography. These original prints, somewhat the worse for wear
after having been exhibited in eight of the principal cities
of the United States, were selected by a group of distinguished
artists and have been reproduced in many newspapers and
magazines, among them the September issue of U S Camera.
The National High School Salon of Photography is
an extra-curricular, self-supporting, non-profit undertaking
conducted by the Stuyvesant High School Camera Club of New
York City. All the work in connection with the salon is done by
students thus giving them splendid training in photography and
business administration.
This year with the nation at war the slogan was,
Prepare yourself for duties to come; turn a pleasant hobby
into a useful pursuit and prepare to serve your country. The
results speak for themselves. The glowing tributes paid these
young artists were most encouraging.
It may seem rather presumptious on my part to burden
you with non-essential trifles, but the contemplation of the
work of the youth of the nation and their eagerness to help
may give a moment of realaxation and greater strength to carry
on.
Should you decide to retain these prints; you will
confer a great honor upon these young people.
Very respectfully yours,

My dear Mr. President:-
Unfortunately, it's just physically impossible for every American manufac-
turer to convert his factory to the high-speed production of tanks, ships,
planes and guns for the prosecution of the present war.
While armanent and munitions cannot be made on paperboard machines and
printing presses, we are making millions of boxes, also special packaging
materials, which are essential to our armed forces and civilians. As a
matter of general information I think you may be very much interested in
an example of this type of essential service which is aimed particularly
at conserving war materials.
Under separate cover, you will receive a new package of "HALF and HALF"
-XPPF
that delicious, fragrant tobacco millions of pipe smokers enjoy daily.
9-T
Formerly in metal you will note it now appears in an attractive paper box.
Working from scratch our research, engineering and manufacturing departments
originated this "Click Top" box and perfectly adapted it to our customer's
automatic packaging machines. By adopting this paper package, American
Tobacco Company performed a real patriotic service by releasing
OVER 4,000 TONS OF CRITICALLY NEEDED METAL
which may now be used for the fabrication of vital "implements of war".
Furthermore, transportation facilities, sorely pressed with the movement of
war goods, are relieved of 75% of the load they formerly carried for the
"CLICK TOP" PAPER BOX WEIGHS ONLY 25% AS MUCH AS THE METAL CAN!
As you enjoy the pleasant aroma of "HALF and HALF" we would leave this
thought with you - if you are now using critical materials in your present
packages, National's packaging engineers may be able to show you how to
secure equally practical packages made of non-critical paperboard, and thus
make available additional quantities of needed materials for the war effort.

can be accepted only with the understanding
that there will be no publicity in connection

My dear Mr. President:
I am sending you herewith a letter which I have
received from Mrs. Horatio H. Armstrong, Presi-
dent of The National Society of the Colonial Dames
of America in the State of Connecticut . and with
it two volumes of the "Victory Book of Connecti-
cut."
These books, as you will note, were especially
bound for you. They contain the history and the
record of "Victory House", and its successful under-
taking in connection with the sale of stamps and
bonds at Hartford, Connecticut. In this book, in
their own hand, are the names of those who sub-
scribed.
Mrs. Armstrong asked that I deliver these books to
you in person, but I have an appreciation of the
constant burdens with which you are confronted -
and the magnitude of your responsibility in these
uncertain days - and I am sure that I will be ex-
cused as I send this letter, and these books, to
you by special messenger.
Faithfully yours,
Janu Francis Maloney water

Dear Senator Maloney:
I am now sending you two volumes of Victory Book
of Connecticut about which we had some correspondence
last summer.
On September 4th Miss Marie Wilson wrote me that as
soon as the book arrived she would bring it to your at-
tention. The delay has been due to the fact that
"Victory House" which has been traveling throughout the
State for the purpose of the sale of U. S. war savings
bonds and stamps just recently returned to Hartford where
it is continuing to do business in front of the Old
State House.
It developed that two volumes would be necessary in
order to bind the signatures of the purchasers. Rather
than send you one book at a time I waited for the second
to come from the printers, Case, Lockwood and Brainard.
My first letter to you dated July 6th, explains the pro-
ject.
The War Savings Staff of Connecticut and the Connecti-
cut Society of the Colonial Dames of America appreciate
very much your willingness to present these books to
President Roosevelt.
Sincerely yours,
