POUGHKEEPSIE,N.Y. CENTRAL HUDSON SYSTEM January 15, 1943 Miss Grace G. Tully The White House Washington, D. 0. Dear Madam: On July 7. 1942 I wrote you regarding the revision of billing for electric service rendered to the President's Estate at Hyde Park and enclosed a check for $20. 42, drawn to the order of Franklin D. Roosevelt, covering a credit due him as the result of dividing the billing between that used for household purposes and that used by the Secret Service Department. According to our bank statement, this check had not been cashed up to the end of the year. It is possible that it has been mislaid or lost. If this is true, we will be glad to stop payment on this check and issue & duplicate to the order of the President, if you so desire. Yours very truly, CENTRAL HUDSON GAS & ELECTRIC CORP. By District Manager. JEDoolittle:A CENTRAL HUDSON GAS &ELECTRIC CORPORATION 50 MARKET ST. POUGHKEEPSIE.N.Y. CENTRAL HUDSON SYSTEM July 7, 1942 Miss Grace G. Tully The White House Washington, D. 0. Dear Miss Tully: We have finally completed the arrangements with the Secret Service Department by which they are billed for all of the electric usage at the President's Estate in Hyde Park, N. Y., less $15.00 per month, which was agreed to be the average amount which could be considered as used by the President's household. We are enclosing herewith & corrected bill for this $15.00 per month charge from July 25,1941 to June 29, 1942. From this has been subtracted the payments. which the President made on November 18 and December 22, 1941, leaving a credit of $20.42, a check for which is enclosed. We will in the future, therefore, as long as this ar- rangement continues with the Secret Service Department, bill the President for $15.00 each month as the portion of the electricity used by his household at the Estate. In addition to this bill you will, of course, receive the one for the farmhouse and for the Memorial Library in the Village of Hyde Park. Unless we hear from you to the contrary, I will assume that this arrangement is satisfactory to you. Yours very truly, CENTRAL HUDSON GAS & ELECTRIC CORP By District Manager.

Form No."30 PSF Hyde Post GRACE To show Miss the Linaka week end. and Folder Mr. Hackett over FDR OFFICE OF PRICE ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON, D. C. January 26, 1943 Miss Grace G. Tully The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Miss Tully: Acknowledging receipt of your memorandum of January 25, enclosing the registration forms on rental dwellings in Hyde Park, New York, in which the President has an interest, I am taking the liberty of handling this matter directly with the Area Rent Office at Poughkeepsie so that your office will not be further burdened about it. I do not understand Mr. Hackett's statement that on two projects where the rent had been reduced since March 1, 1942, and each tenant now pays for his own heat and light, the President's agent was informed that "these rents have been increased instead of reduced and that the President was subject to a fine or some other penalty." Either Miss Linaka misunder- stood the statements made at the Area Rent Office, or the office made an erroneous interpretation of the appropriate regulation. In circumstances described above, the landlord is required to register and file an appropriate petition for the reduction of services if such services have been decreased since the maximum rent date. Then the maximum legal rent is adjusted on the basis of the difference in rental value resulting from the decrease in services. I am quite certain that the rent determined at the expiration of the lease on June 1, 1942 on one project and the rent charged on August 14, 1942 on the second come within the rental range of comparable dwelling units within the area. I am writing you these facts so that you may close your file on this matter. I have instructed the Area Office at Poughkeepsie to communicate with Miss Linaka and Mr. Hackett and to take the appropriate steps to clear up what is really a FORVICTORY BUY UNITED STATES BONDS AND STAMPS Miss Grace G.

I am now enclosing herewith the registration forms of projects 3,5,6 and 8 made out by her conforming to the facts.

On Friday morning she came in to see no, and I told her not to make out or file any statement which would involve the President in a fine and I immediately wrote you to obtain an extension of time to file the registrations.

Very truly yours, throy Bal Honton Paul A Porter info - Rent . - HENRY T. HACKETT ATTORNEY & COUNSELLOR AT LAW 226 UNION STREET POUGHKEEPSIE, NEW YORK min attained of Jan. 15, 1943. Miss Grace G. Tully The White House Washington, D. C. My dear Miss Tully: Miss Linaka, who collects the rent from six of the projects on Violet Avenue, yesterday attempted to make out and file the Landlord's statements of rental dwellings for these projects at the local office, 321 Mill Street, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. She made out and filed two which appeard to be all right. The man in charge of the local office told her that the President had raised the rent since March 1, 1942 in projects three and five and was liable to a fine. Today is the last day to file these statements here. I told her not to sign and file any statements which would render the President liable to a fine. In project three the rent was reduced from $29. to $16.50 per month since March 1, 1942, but the tenant has to pay for his own heat and light. In project five the rent was reduced from $24. to $15. per month since March 1, 1942, but the tenant has to pay for his own heat and light. The local office claims that these rents have been increased and not reduced. I do not want to trouble the President about this, but wish you would get in touch with someone in authority in the Rent Control Bureau of the OPA and obtain an extension of time for Miss Linaka to make and file the remaining four statements. Very truly yours, Huny y. Handelt STANDARD FORM No. 14A APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT MARCH 10, 1926 FROM The White House Mashington TELEGRAM OFFICIAL BUSINESS-GOVERNMENT RATES HENRY T. HACKETT are 226 UNION STREET POUGHKEEPSIE NEW YORK HAVE TAKEN MATTER UP WITH RENT CONTROL BUREAU AND EXTENSION WILL BE GRANTED. GRACE G. TULLY PRIVATE SECRETARY OFFICE OF PRICE ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON, D. C. Personal January 16, 1943 Miss Grace Tully The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Miss Tully: Enclosed is a copy of a telegram which has today gone to the Area Rent Office in Poughkeepsie. The only purpose of this communication is to have the record clearly show that the President was in no sense delinquent in the filing of the registration. I do not fully understand from our telephone conversation just what the complication is that requires the President's personal attention. If there were a reduction in services since March 1, 1942, the maximum rent would be the first reduced rent collected since that date. Otherwise the maximum rent would be the rent collected for the rental period ending March 1, 1942. Not having all of the facts, I am unable to determine just why the President's attorney found it necessary to refer the matter to him, or why our Area Rent Director did not suggest that the registration be accepted when completed by the President's authorized agent. However, if you desire this office to examine the forms, I will be glad to do so with the objective, of course, of conserving the President's time and avoiding the necessity of bothering him with this matter. Please advise if I can be of any help to that end. Sincerely, Reul Vorter Paul A.

Reforesting means the establishment of a forest by completely planting an area of open land or by supplementing natural forest cover by filling in open spaces. Trees must be planted directly in their perma- nent situation. In no case shall they be planted in nurseries or used for ornamental purposes. язамии язаяо тои of 20HT OSTRAW TW3038 COPY OF AGREEMENT You may consider this an order for the trees specified'below If this order is granted, I agree to comply fully with all the conditions herein which I have carefully read. 1.

That the trees are to be planted for the sole purpose of reforesting lands in the State of New York, That the trees will be planted only on land which is assessed at less than $50 per acre, when privately owned. That these trees will be planted and are not obtained for the purpose of sale, and will not be sold, given away, replanted, or moved with the roots thereon. That K I sell or offer the trees for sale for ornamental purposes I shall- become liable to the State for the payment of a penalty equal to three times the sale value of the trees sold, in addition to any other penalty prescribed by law. 00.06 I agree to réturn the empty crates to the express office promptly or pay for them. 000,8 5. I agree to protect the planted area as well as possible from fire, grazing, and other damage. 6. In case of white pine, I agree to remove all currant and gooseberry bushes, both wild and cultivated from the area to 00 be planted and from a space approximately 900 feet surrounding the plantation, not later than June Est following the planting. 7. That the applicant is the owner or the agent of the owner of the land to be planted. 00.08 I agree to make reasonable reports in regard to the condition of, the plantation upon request. 000, 01 I understand that this is an agreement for the purpose of reforesting land and I agree to all the above conditions. I also understand that if any of the terms of this agreement are violated the Conservation Department will not fill any future tree order of mine. 88. 08.8 [bonn dozel 001 DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING The actual work of planting is simple and can be done successfully and readily by anyone. When the trees are received, they should at once be taken to the planting field, unpacked and "heeled in." The latter process consists of digging a trench the width of a shovel and depth half the height of the trees, into which the trees are placed roots down and packed solid. They should be well watered and may be thus stored for a week or more, but should be planted as soon as possible. The planting is best done by two men, one with a grub hoe to make holes, the other with a pail of trees to do the planting. The trees should be set approximately six feet apart, each way, but judgment should be exercised in selecting the best soil or spot 00. within a reasonable distance. The hole should be deep enough to permit the roots to lie in a normal position and the trees set at the same depth that they were before digging. The man who digs the holes should leave the dirt/at the side of the hole and in as accessible position as possible in order to assist the planter. The planter takes a tree from the pail, places it in the hole and packs the soil around the roots, endervoring to/ get the roots in a normal position. When all the soil is returned and the hole filled, the earth is firmed by the root, but care should be taken not to bark the tree. This operation should continue until the planting is done. As many pairs of men as are necessary may be employed. Care should be taken to see that the roots of evergreen trees never become dry. The rates of planting will depend upon the efficiency of the labor and the character of the soil and vegetation where the work is done. Planting six feet apart each way requires about 1,200 trees per acre. Two good men should, where the soil is not heavy, set out about an acre per day. Preparation of soil is not necessary but the plantation must be protected from fire, and grazing prohibited.

Dear Mr. Plog:- I think that this Spring you ought to plan primarily to put in vegetables which can be put in cans. I wonder if Mrs. Depew would come in to the kitchen and put them up as they ripen. I think we could put up, in glass jars, corn, beans, beets and tomatoes - also peas, provided they are picked and put up while still very young. I think we should grow plenty of carrots, onions and turnips for use next Winter. We will not need much in the way of vegetables for the house because during the Summer we will probably have only three or four people for a weekend about once a month, or, if we have more for a weekend, we can always buy what extras we need. Mrs. Roosevelt tells me that she wants Bill, who works for her, to put in a good-sized garden but, as you know, Bill needs supervision in a thing like this and I wonder if you could undertake to supervise him in what he plants and in putting in any fertiliser he needs. I think if you can have a talk with him and drive over for a few minutes every two or three days, he will be able to do it all right, and he may be able to hire & boy from high school to help him. Mrs. Roosevelt also said that she would like to have the pool cleaned and put in order - but not until about the first of June. I hope to be back, without fail, the first Sunday in April. I suppose the frost is coming out of the ground by nov and that you are also getting this warm spell. Very sincerely yours, Mr. William A. Plog, c/o Hon. Franklin D.

I have tried to figure out some way of making major repairs to the Tompkins house but, frankly, I cannot afford to do it and also there is the definite government request not to make major changes or repairs during the war. The principal cost of your suggestions would be in the fitting up of a bathroom on the second floor. I do not think I could do this. However, I would be willing to buy the wall paper, paste and paint for upstairs (except for the living room and kitchen) if you can do the papering and painting work in your spare time. I am asking Mr. Plog to look over the problem of the leaky roof. That, of course, must be mended. You might see Mr. Plog before I get home the next time. Very sincerely yours, Mr. Harry B.

In talking over the work with the above mentioned con- tractors, the consensus of opinion seems to be to put in & com- plete new annunciator as it is felt that the ones now installed have reached the end of their useful life. There also seems to be some question 0.8 to whether or not the present wiring is in A No. 1 order, or whether or not it would have to be taken out, but in any event they all agreed that a workable system can be installed without too much trouble. Forgive this long delay in writing you, but I was anx- ious to have a complete story for you, and the moment Mr. Quinn's bid is received by me, I shall forward the same to you. Trusting the above will somewhat answer your questions, and if there is anything further I can do for you, please don't hesitate to call me. Very truly yours, 2 Incls. - JOHN H. STOWELL 1.

Venable ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR-DEALER OFFICE AND SHOW ROOM 67 GRAND AVENUE POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. TEL. ⑉ March 4, 1943 Miss Grace G. Tully c/o Roosevelt Estate Hyde Park, N.Y. My dear Miss Tully: At your request I have checked and inspected the bell system at the Presidents Estate and repaired it the best I can under the present conditions. However, I can not say how long the system will continue to operate as the annunciators are beyond repair. This system has been in service about thirty years and has just given out from use. On Thursday I installed 20 new dry cells, but I am afraid even this will do very little good. To date I have spent twenty five ($25.00) dollars in my endeavor to correct the fault, but I must admit without success. I would suggest that you advise the President to have installed a new 24 drop annunciator which would be hand reset rather than electric. Using a power transformer you would do away with the con- stant cost of installing dry cells, The cost of this new system will be One Hundred Thirty One ($131.00) Dollars. I will be happy to guarantee the new system for two years. I will await hearing from you regarding the above matter before doing anything more. Very truly yours, IBV/s I.B.Denalle I.B.

Dear Sir: As requested by you, I am pleased to submit 2 proposal covering electric work in connection with the present installed call system at the President's residence, Hyde Park, N. Y., as per the following: The existing wiring used to operate the call bell or signal system appears to be in operating condition, and I am assuming that such is the case. It is my understanding that the three existing 18-drop and 4-drop annunciators, one of each now located in pantry, servants' dining room and servants' hall, will be discarded, together with the dry cell batteries which supply current for these units, since this equipment has been in service quite some time, and is.in need of replacement. We propose to install, in the pantry, one 24-drop surface type, manual reset annunciator, which will replace the two now at this location. The existing annunciators, in servants' dining room and second floor passage will be disconnected from the system and will cease to operate. In the second floor passage, we will install a three-inch adjustable bell or buzzer type signal, which will sound each time a call registers on the new pentry annunciator. The foregoing will be operated by = new power unit, replacing present operating batteries, which will be connected and installed by us. The cost of this work, with necessary wiring installation, reconnections and changes, ready to operate, all as per the above, would be $148.00 (One Hundred Forty-Eight Dollars). In the event that a bell type signal is desired for location in servants' dining room, which would ring when a call is registered on new pantry annunciator, the additional cost would DE approximately $10.00 (Ten Dollars). Hoping that our proposal meets with acceptance, I am Yours very trul LLJ:FJS PSF H3 de Park folder March 26, 1943. Dear Sheilas- March RS, 1948 I as delighted that your Father is home.

He is being sent to Norfolk, Va. and is to report to the Commander Landing Craft Group, Amphibious Force, Atlantic Fleet, Naval Operating Base.
