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." study July 29, 1942 prt. q-n n My dear Mrs. Noake: It was kind indeed of you to send that beautiful scrapbook to the President and Mrs. Roosevelt for their grandchildren.

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, Einar Brihan Finar B. Eriksen October 6, 1942 MEMORANDUM FOR MR.

Roosevelt White House Washington, D. C. 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. WDLynch:hb1 November 16, 1942 My dear Mr. Lynch: I have for acknowledgment your letter of recent date. What you say has been noted with interest and you may be assured that your kind thought in sending the President the gift to which you refer is very much appreciated. I need hardly add that this gift can be accepted only with the understanding that there will be no publicity in connection with its presentation. Very sincerely yours, Grace G.

Armstrong President 25 Woodside Circle Hartford, Connecticut December 3, 1942 The Honorable Francis T. Maloney United States Senate Washington, D. C. 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.
