March 26th 1933. The Honble. Franklin D. Roosevelt, President, United States of America, The White House, Washington, D. C. My Dear Mr President: Under separate cover I am sending you a small book which is considered one of the gems of the Theosophical literature. It is very many years since I first read it but the strength and calm which came to me through a study of its pages has remained with me through the years of travail of the past couple of decades. Your efforts are bearing fruit, the first fruit to ripen being the restoration of confidence to a shattered mental fabric and we look to you, with God's aid, to guide the ship of State to a more sheltered harbour. In appreciation of your courage and honesty of purpose I send you this trivial gift which I hope you will accept from a very sincere admirer. Have you seen or read - THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SLUMP - by A. N. Field of Nelson, New Zealand ? If you have not done so, I am sure you should do so as it will throw much light upon your present banking problem. Whether or not you approve of this work, it should be on your shelves for reference. It is certainly a valuable contribution to a study of the world's economics. PLEASE, read it. Very faithfully yours, Tyson A. Pearson. TAP-s P.P. April 7. 1933. - THE April 7, 1933. P.P.7, q-P.

THE TELEPHONE-DIAL FINGER-WHEEL CORPORATION 125 CHURCH STREET NEW YORK April II, 1933. The President, Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C. Sir: Rekd 4/14/33 mys As an American citizen and former resident of Troy, N. Y., may I be favored in acceptance by my President of the first perfect model of the improved Finger-wheel for the Dial telephone. For the past fifteen years I have leaned towards invention and among of my latest ideas this new wheel was one. I tried to have the American Telephone & Telegraph Com- pany adopt same but up to now with no avail. I believe it to do the job better than the one now in use, and shall make it available to the public. With six others we have formed the above Corperation for the purpose. Our President Mr. Thomas J. Lane, has authorized me to give away the first two hundred to Liberty loving Americans. Yours is number one. This new Finger-wheel has been made to provide new jobs. The manufacturers who made our first order have done there part, marketing same will provide the others. Under seperate cover you will receive this new Finger-wheel, We will call it SANI-DIAL as you will see by its container, taken from the word sanitary because it does help maintain the dial in a sanitary condition with little effort. After you have tried it and you have seen its ad- vantage, let me know if you will permit me to send you as many as will be needed to equip all of the Dial Telephones in your two homes, This is a personal offer allowed me, and will not be used for advertisement of any form. It is an in- centive to keep going, It is my ambition to make as many new jobs as I can for others, for I know too well what it is to be out of work. I hope to succeed in this new Company so that income will permit me to make available my other ideas. Thanking you, Very truly yours, Joeph a. letnel. Joseph A. Petnel, in- ventor and Secretary of the above Corperation. April 15, 1933. ppt. My dear General Butler: I have received your letter of March twentieth regarding the desire of Mr. Nathan P. Pechin to present a gavel to the President. X Because of the tremendous pressure under which the President is working, I am writing to Mr. Pechin to ask if he will not be good enough to send the gavel to me. Thanking you for bringing the matter to my attention, I am, Sincerely yours, LOUIS McH. HOWE Secretary to the President. General Smedley D. Butler Goshen Road, Newton Square Delaware County, Pennsylvania hpw SDB:SRL SMEDLEY D. BUTLER DELAWARE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA March 20, 1933 Colonel Louis H. Howe Executive Offices Retterst and 4/5/33 exper White House Washington, D. C. My dear Colonel: Mr. Nathan P. Pechin, the Chairman of the Democratic County Committee of this, Delaware County, has appealed to me to do a favor for him. Why Mr. Pechin should have adopted this course is a mystery to me, but he is such a fine fellow and has been so friendly towardsme that I must make some effort to comply with his request. Mr. Pechin has had made a small gavel from the wood of a tree from Valley Forge. This tree was brought from Mb. Vernon and seems to have some historical significance. Mr. Pechin desires that his great hero, the President, accept this small token of his esteem. Do you suppose the President would be willing to receive Mr. Pechin and his gavel or would it be more to the President's liking to ship him the gavel by mail or express. My friend is a very meek, self-effacing citizen and is most desirous that the President have this keep-sake with as little annoyance in the presentation as possible. If you can find time and would be good enough to drop Mr. Pechin of 118 Walnut Avenue, Wayne, Pennsylvania a note, telling him what to do, you will be making a 'red letter day' in his life. If you have an opportunity, I wish you would present my respectful compliments to the President and tell him that throughout the three or four States I have covered since his Inauguration, the people are behind him to a man and are amazed at the wonders he is working. Very sincerely yours, SDB:SRL SMEDLEY D. BUTLER April 15, 1933. Fld 9-P.

Dear Mr. President: May I have the honor of presenting to you the first copy of the Forestry Almanac for 1933, which is just off the press. It appears, most appropriately, at a time when the country is witnessing with deep interest and thorough approval, the placing, by your orders, of thousands of unemployed on jobs in the forests and other conservation projects which will, in time, return to the pbulic proper dividends upon the public money and public effort expended in the work. That all success may attend this broadminded and constructive program is the wish I know, of many millions of Americans beside myself. Very sincerely yours, Charles Lathrop Pack, CLP/err. President.
