C.\nWV\nJuly 30, 1937\nMy dear Mr. President:\nThe other day I came across the copy of a letter I had written\nyou a few months before your last campaign. As the expression of gratitude\nis the sweetest privilege of the human heart, ingratitude must create the\ngreatest resentment. My feeling of resentment toward a certain man who has\nproved viciously ungrateful to you for your golden goodness in trying to\ncrown him highest honor, was the occasion for my writing you that letter.\nThe letter contained the story of a drowning man who was rescued by a\nfisherman. Unfortunately the good fisherman, in rescuing the man, hooked\nhim in the eye. After the revived man became normal and forgetful, he\nwent into court and sued the fisherman for hooking his eye. When the\njudge heard the evidence he said to the man who had been rescued, \"And\nyou want damages? If you will return to that stream and put yourself\nwhere the fisherman found you, and get out alone, I will give you damages.\"\nWhereupon the plaintive said: \"Judge, I withdraw the case\".\nThough I have been confined to a hospital most of the time during\nthe past five years, I have been pleased to hear that this story was used\neffectively in your campaign. That is what I intended it for. Now,\nMr. President, I'm going to do what I should have done when I wrote the\nfirst letter, I'm taking the liberty of sending you a copy of my book,\n\"Pinnacles of Personality\". The book closes with the prayer I offered\nthat was cheered by that great Convention in 1924, known for its angry\nentanglements as the \"World's Greatest Show\". It was there you were\ndoing so heroically for one who should have been your life-long benefactor,\nlevied a swine tax upon you in the form of\" 'rending\"\nThis book, (with particular reference to the two chapters,\n\"Bootlegging the Classics\" and \"Christmas on the Rhine\") is the record of\nthat vast experience in which I acquired the title \"friend to the boys\"\nand for which one of these same soldiers and the people have arisen from\nout of the past and present to initiate a movement in my behalf through\nwhich I might to some extent reap a compensation for an effect created by\nmy activities in a great cause placing me in a unique position which\ncarried with it most of the time absolutely no remmeration and which\nresulted in the breaking of my health rendering me helpless of support\nat this time. Whenever this effort, Mr. President, comes to your notice\nI am hoping you will endorse it since my respect for your abiding selflessness\nand your willingness to help the helpless has been so often and so\nbeautifully demonstrated.\nI happen to know that our present First Lady of the Land\" did me\nthe honor to purchase a copy of \"Pinnacles of Personality\" when it was\nfirst released.\nRIDGWAY & COMPANY\n- 2 -\nJuly 30, 1937\nI say humbly that the movement is in reality a clear sweet\nanswer to strengthen hundreds of personalities who are in the throes\nof that most paralyzing question, \"What's the Use?\"\nWith sweetest admiration, dear Mr. President,\nI am yours to rely on,\nHenry Clay Risner\nHis Excellency Franklin D.

This book, SO far as I can find\nout, is the only one ever published with that title. In it\nI undertake to define the perfume of the rose in the person\nof the undefinable Christian Gentleman, and then follow some\nfourteen chapters showing the Christian Gentleman \"doing his\nstuff, II as my grandsons would say.\nThe publisher, in his announcements of the book,\nsays nobody who started reading it would ever lay it down\nuntil he finished the last chapter.

Especially chapter five, which is a gentle dig at some\nof the fool questions that go into Civil Service questionaires\nup and down this land of ours.\nMrs. Roosevelt, if I have judged her aright, would\ntake great delight in chapter twelve, which is the story of\nBetsy Hansford and in which is shown the difference between\nan \"Old Maid\" and a \"Spinster.\"\nAs I may have told you before, the only excuse for\nadding another drop to the great flood of books that will pour\nfrom the printing presses this Fall is that I might produce one\nentirely different.

The house has been constructed with meticu-\nlous regard to historical accuracy and when furnished and\nopened to the public will serve as a perpetual source of\npleasure and inspiration to a large and ever increasing number\nof visitors attracted to the park, and hailing from all parts\nof the country.\nI am sending you with this letter, and with the\ncompliments of the author and publishers, an advance copy of\na new and interesting biography of Baron Steuben.x It is\nwritten by John M. Palmer, a retired Brigadier-General of the\nUnited States army, and a recognized expert on military\nmatters. In addition to its value as a review and appraise-\nment of the military services of Steuben, which are charac-\nterized by the author as \"indispensable to the achievement\nof American independence, \" the book contains a wealth of\nhitherto unpublished material relating to the Revolutionary\nWar and (especially in its later chapers) descriptive of New\nNew York life and times, both in New York City and among the\nHonorable Franklin D.

Vacation\nHalted by\nTooth Infection\nMIAMI, Fla., Dec. 3.-(U.P)-The\neffects of a tooth infection tonight\nforced President Roosevelt to cut\nshort his seagoing vacation off the\nFlorida Coast in order to seek\nfurther treatment at the hands of\nWashington specialists.\nMr. Roosevelt informed Secre-\ntary Marvin H. McIntyre here\nthat while his general health\nwas excellent, delayed healing of\nthe gum from which an ab-\nscessed molar had been ex-\ntracted, brought about his de-\ncision to return to the capital.\nConsequently the yacht Potomac\nnow off Dry Tortugas near Key\nWest will head for this port to-\nmorrow, arriving Sunday in time\nto permit him to board his special\ntrain at 2:30 p. m., and reach\nWashington Monday afternoon.\nThe Chief Executive has been\nsuffering from after-effects since\nthe extraction November 18 at the\nWhite House. He first felt a\ntoothache November 15 and called\nin Commander Arthur H. Yando\nof the Navy Dental Corps. Dr.\nYando attempted to save the tooth\nby treatment, but finally was com-\npelled to remove it.\nThe President, slow in recover-\ning from the infection which, in-\ncidentally, is still draining, re-\nmained away from his office from\nNovember 16 to November 22,\nwhen he came to his desk briefly\nto hold a press conference. From\nthen on he was in the office only\noccasionally.\nHe left Washington last Satur-\nday night for the South, having\ndeferred an earlier scheduled de-\nparture which would have taken\nhim to Warm Springs, Ga., for\nThanksgiving. He planned to visit\nWarm Springs on the way north\nfrom the present trip, but the visit\nhas been postponed now to a fu-\nture date.\nWhile away, Mr. Roosevelt has\nbeen under the care of Dr. Ross\nT. McIntire, his personal physician.\nMcIntyre declared the Presi-\ndent's general health, however,\nwas \"excellent\" and that the de-\ncision to return was only because\nthe Potomac offers but limited fa-\ncilities for dental care.\nMeanwhile, as he awaited the\ntime to start his return cruise,\nthe President made the most of\nout\nin\na\nsmall\nP.7. q-R\nDecember 17, 1937\nMy dear Mr. Reno:\nThe framed picture which you were\ngood enough to send to the President has been\nreceived and he has asked me to thank you ever\nso much for your friendly thought of him.\nVery sincerely yours,\nII.
