Miss M.A. LeHand
The White House
Washington, D. G.
Dear Miss LeHand:
I acknowledge receipt of the President's
check for $232.76 to my order to pay the taxes on the Hyde
Park and Pleasant Valley properties.
I regret that in the statement of the
rent received and payments made for the year 1936 which we
sent him on Jan. 13th, 1937, there was omitted by mistake a
payment of $107.66 to Vail & Sutton on June 9th, 1936 for
fire insurance premiums. We are therefore short that amount.
As the time for the payment of the taxes at 1% is nearly up,
I have advanced the $107.66 in order to save the 5% penalty
and have sent out the check to pay the taxes. When the rents
are paid I will reimburse myself for the amount I advanced.
Enclosed herewith is an amended statement of the rents received
and payments made for the year 1936.
Sincerely yours,
$107.66

Dear Franklin:
may
I have seen quite a lot of President Conant and
am thoroughly sold on his ideas about the 300th Anniversary
Fund which are set forth briefly in the enclosed letter.
Because of the special significance of this year's
appeal, I am giving substantially more than I ordinarily do;
and I know you won't mind my urging you to regard the year as
exceptional in its opportunity for service to the University
and to make your gift as liberal as circumstances justify.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Class Agent.
EAT:C
By Vote of the Corporation: " All money available from the Harvard Fund for the unrestricted use of the University through
subscriptions received in the calendar year 1936 will be credited to the 300th Anniversary Fund."
HARVARD UNIVERSITY
CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
March 16, 1936
To the Class Agents of the Harvard Fund
Gentlemen:
Since this is Harvard's 300th year, I am taking the liberty of writing you about your work
in connection with the Harvard Fund. First of all I should like to thank you most sincerely for
all you have accomplished for the University in your capacity as Class Agents. In the ten years
during which the Harvard Fund has operated, it has brought in substantial amounts of money to our
unrestricted funds, and in addition it has kept alive the active interest of a large number of alumni.
Both aspects of your work are, to my mind, of the greatest importance; and I should like to take this
opportunity of expressing the appreciation of the Governing Boards for your services.
As you know, this year is unique in Harvard's history, and the Harvard Fund is to have a
special role. All gifts to the Harvard Fund in the calendar year 1936 will be credited to the 300th
Anniversary Fund, with the purpose of which I am sure you are familiar, since it has been outlined
in the red pamphlet mailed last November to all alumni. Through your activities, the great mass
of graduates will have an opportunity to show their interest in Harvard and in the 300th Anniversary
plans by subscribing to the Harvard Fund.
On the 16th, 17th, and 18th of next September we shall celebrate the completion of the third
century of our existence. The gathering will be marked by the presence of some sixty distinguished
scholars from all over the world who will receive honorary degrees on the final day. Practically
all the colleges and universities in America and many in Europe will send delegates to these
ceremonies; ten to fifteen thousand of the alumni, we hope, will return to Cambridge at this time.
Such an occasion would be a fitting time to announce the results of the subscriptions to the Harvard
Fund. This year the Harvard Fund stands, as it were, as a symbol of the interest of the great body
of our alumni in Harvard's future. Both the number of subscribers to the Fund and the total
amount subscribed will be a measure of the confidence of our graduates in the University and the
ideals for which it stands.
Thus the Harvard Fund this year serves a special purpose. It is through you gentlemen that
this purpose will be brought to the attention of the alumni. I have every confidence in your ability
to carry out this task, and feel certain that the response which your letters will evoke will challenge
the imagination of the whole country.
Very sincerely yours,
James B. Con ant

Dear Mr. President and Brother Roosevelt:
For the past four years the dependents of Holland
Lodge have been given relief to the approximate amount of
$5000. a year.
The Lodge has contributed substantially from its own
funds. It is absolutely necessary, however, to supplement this
by subscriptions of the Brethren to the Relief Fund which 18
nearing depletion.
The beneficiaries are all elderly people; either
members or related to those who helped to make Holland Lodge
what it is today. In the past they have enjoyed the best that
life could offer, but they are now destitute.
There are no administrative expenses, every penny
goes to direct relief.
I am therefore writing to ask you to contribute as
liberally as your circumstances permit, and a prompt response
will be appreciated, as the need is urgent.
Sincerely and fraternally yours,
John Wells

Honorable Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
The White House,
Washington, D. C.
Sir:
Among the securities held for your account are 62 shares
of Bank of California National Association capital par $100 stock.
The Bank of California National Association has announced
that a special meeting of stockholders is to be held on May 19 in
San Francisco. At this meeting stockholders will be requested to
consider and take action upon a proposal to reduce the common capital
stock of the Bank in the amount of $1,700,000 by reducing the par
value of the 85,000 shares outstanding from $100 to $80 per share.
The amount of $1,700,000 to be transferred to the surplus account.
This would result in a capital of $6,800,000 and surplus of $7,200,000
leaving the total capital surplus at $14,000,000, which is its present
total. For complete information as to the reason for effecting such
changes in the capitalization, we refer you to the attached letter
from the Bank of California dated April 6 and the notice of the special
meeting.
The Bank requests stockholders to execute a proxy similar
to the form enclosed. Kindly advise us if you wish to exchange your
presently held shares for shares of the new par value in the event the
proposal is approved by stockholders. For your convenience, we attach
a copy of this letter on which you may indicate your instructions.
Very truly yours,

To THE SHAREHOLDERS
WOD
THE BANK OF CALIFORNIA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION:
bloode
it
The Banking Act of 1935 includes a provision that, before the declaration of dividends, one-tenth of
the net profits of National Banks, for the preceding half year, shall be transferred to the Surplus Account
of banks until that account shall equal the amount of the banks' Capital.
bloow
This provision was well intended, as its purpose was to increase the invested Capital of banks to the
greater protection of depositors, but it fails of its purpose in that it does not require any minimum rela-
tionship between the aggregate amount of Capital and Surplus to deposit liabilities, but only requires that
the Capital and the Surplus accounts shall equal each other. Whether a bank has enough, or more than
enough, or too little Capital and Surplus to afford adequate protection to its depositors, is not a considera-
tion which the law covers.
Your Bank has always had a high ratio of capital funds to deposits, exceeded by few major banks in
the United States and equalled by none in its territory of activity.
It would therefore be unjust to its stockholders to compel them to add from the Bank's earnings still
further funds to its Surplus, which funds are not needed nor economically usable in the business of the Bank.
In order to comply with the law, this Bank will be required either to devote a large aggregate amount
of its future earnings to increase its already ample Surplus until that account equals its Capital, or to reduce
its Capital and correspondingly increase its Surplus by transferring the amount of such reduction in Capital
to its Surplus Account.
It has therefore been decided by the Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they
vote for a reduction in the Bank's Capital-and an exactly corresponding increase in the Bank's Surplus-
so that the Surplus Account may equal or exceed the Capital.
The present Capital of the bank is $8,500,000, represented by 85,000 shares of the par value of $100
each. The Surplus is $5,500,000-making the total Capital and Surplus $14,000,000.
sinmlileD to rdD
InnoitsK
30%
nimelity meham
It is proposed to reduce the par value of the 85,000 shares from $100 to $80 per share, thus making a
reduction in Capital of $1,700,000, and to transfer this sum, in its entirety, to Surplus Account. This would
result in a Capital of $6,800,000 and a Surplus of $7,200,000, leaving the total Capital and Surplus
of
$14,000,000-exactly as the total now is.
It should be emphasized that, under the proposed re-arrangement, the stockholders will have the
same number of shares as they now have; each share will have the same assets behind it as it now has,
and consequently there would be no change whatever in the asset value of each share. The earning capacity
of the Bank would in no wise be affected by the change, since the same funds would still be available for
investment, and excess earnings not needed or usable in the Bank's business can be returned to stockholders
as dividends instead of being added to the Surplus already fully adequate. managali noticatory
mdt
visa
and
The depositors would have the same ample protection in the ratio of Capital and Surplus to deposits
as now exists, and the law provides that no part of the Surplus Account shall be distributed to stockholders
without permission of the Comptroller of the Currency.

April 6th, 1936
To THE SHAREHOLDERS OF
THE BANK OF CALIFORNIA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION:
You are hereby notified that a special meeting of the shareholders of The Bank of California, National
Association, has been called by the Board of Directors thereof to be held at its chief banking house, 400
California Street, in the city of San Francisco, on the 19th day of May, 1936, at 2:30 o'clock P. M., to
consider and vote upon the following proposals:
I. To reduce the common capital stock of the bank (under the provisions of Section 5143, U.S.
Revised Statutes) in the sum of $1,700,000, leaving the total common capital after said reduction

reduction of the common capital stock of the Association shall be returned to shareholders, but
the amount of the said reduction shall be transferred to surplus account, making the surplus of the
Association $7,200,000.00, no part of which surplus may be used for the payment of dividends in
any form without the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.
2. To amend the Articles of Association of the bank so as to conform to the above change in capital of
the bank.
3. To transact such other business incidental to the foregoing proposals as may properly come before
the meeting or any adjournment thereof.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
C. K. MCINTOSH,
President.
If you are unable to attend the meeting you are requested to sign the enclosed proxy and return same
to the Cashier.

pended for lease rentals, capital stock tax, and clerical work in connection
with mailing reports, handling stock transfers, and the annual stockholders'
meeting for 1935. The First National Bank of Lewistown, Montana, has paid
a final dividend of $32.22, showing a small loss on & basis of the amount

CALIFORNIA: South Dome Kettleman Hills. The well drilled by Continental
Oil Company on lands in which your Company owned a small royalty interest
was abandoned as unsuccessful after drilling to a depth of 7849 feet.
Middle Dome Kettleman Hills. Your Company owns a small royalty inter-
est in lands included in the unit plan. Three wells have been completed
which have a potential capacity per day of 4500 barrels of oil and
90,000,000 feet of gas. Technical title defects, recently perfected,
necessitated impounding the royalty which is to be paid shortly. The
amount payable to your Company is approximately $200.00. The ultimate
return from this royalty interest will be small for the structure has
not been proved to be as large, as to its productive limits, or as pro-
lific as was hoped for.
WYOMING: The federal government has recently adopted a firm attitude re-
garding the completion of a unit plan because or the failure of the inter-
ested parties to submit an acceptable plan. Three gas wells have been
completed on your Company's holdings. The limited market for gas pre-
cludes your Company receiving an immediate return as it does not share
in income until the wells have paid for themselves from gas sales.
The Baxter Basin holdings are the Company's most valuable asset, and
although over half a million dollars has been expended in an effort to
drill a deep test the results have been unsuccessful for mechanical
reasons. Improved drilling methods and equipment should overcome the
past difficulties.
Your Company has managed to hold its main assets listed in the last
balance sheet and there is every reason to believe that it will be able
to continue so to do. There is little hope of the Company receiving
any substantial revenue unless oil is discovered on its Baxter Basin
holdings. The available data indicates that the possibility of the struc-
ture being productive of oil is considerably more promising than when your
Company originally acquired its holdings; however, we have no definite
information on which to base an encouraging report as to the drilling of
an early test well. The sixteen long years we have waited for a success-
ful test makes us hesitate to view the future too optimistically.

Dear Franklin,
I enclose the eleventh Annual
Report of the Groton Alumni Fund; also a little
pamphlet on The Endicott Peabody Scholarship Fund.
These speak for themselves and there is nothing
that I can add.
In view of the celebration of
the Fiftieth Anniversary of the School in June, we
are particularly anxious to get subscriptions from
as many graduates as possible, no matter what the
size of the subscription.
Please send your subscription be-
fore May twentieth so that we shall have everything
in hand for the Reunion.
Sincerely yours,

The Endicott Peabody
Scholarship Fund
To commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary
of the School and the Fiftieth Anniversary of
Mr. Peabody's Headmastership, the Standing
Committee of the Alumni Association and the
Form Agents of the Alumni Fund have both
voted unanimously that the most appropriate
expression from the graduates would be to
establish the "Endicott Peabody Scholarship
Fund." The Rector and the Trustees were con-
sulted in advance and both approved it warmly.
The Rector said at the recent meeting of the
Form Agents that scholarship funds were now
the School's greatest need. Many promising
boys, not only recently but even in normal
times, have been unable to enter the School be-
cause we had not sufficient scholarship income
from which to grant them assistance. The
Standing Committee feels that the plan of es-
tablishing this much needed fund bearing Mr.
Peabody's name in commemoration of the Fif-
tieth Anniversary is peculiarly appropriate.
The conditions of the Fund are as follows:
to undertake the gradual accumulation of the

other hand, has about $830,000 in scholarship
funds with an income of about $35,000. They,
too, during the emergency, have had to augment
their scholarship income from other sources.
The Standing Committee and the Form
Agents considered whether some portion of the
funds given to the Endicott Peabody Scholar-
ship Fund should be used as income during the
present emergency. They concluded that as the
amount which might properly be so used would
be small, it would be wiser from the ouset to
build for the future and to regard as principal
all gifts made through the Alumni Fund.
In conclusion, it is interesting to observe
that all of our present scholarship funds have
been given by parents. May not the establish-
ment of the Endicott Peabody Scholarship
Fund by the graduates stimulate some of the
parents to contribute to it from time to time,
just as the establishment of the Pension Fund
by the graduates doubtless stimulated Amory
Gardner's generous gift for pensions?

It seems as though I am constantly
asking you for money to cover the expenses
incurred in connection with the Washington

Two policies in the amount of
$4,000 expired on October 1st. The premium
covering the renewal amounts to $98.00.
Would you please send me your check for half.
Many thanks.
Sincerely,

Dear Missy:-
I do not know that there is
anything you can do about the enclosed
but because he points out that if it
1s not paid by November 21st there will
be additional interest on each day's
delay, I thought I would send it along
for your information and advice. I
have a feeling the President took his
checkbook with him.
If you would like me to write
him a note explaining that you and the
President are both away and perhaps
asking for a stay until the President
returns, I shall be glad to do so.
Will you let me know what you think?
Have a swell time. Love to
you and Bets.

Dear Miss LeHand:
In accordance with the request contained
in your letter of November 16th, you will find herewith
a statement showing unpaid taxes for the second half of
the year 1936 on property at 47 - 49 East 65th Street.
You will note that the interest is calculated to November
21st, 1936, as the taxes are now in arrears. They were
payable during the month of October and were not paid, so
interest thereon at the rate of 10% per annum must be paid
from October 1st to date of payment.
Bills for real estate taxes in this City
are sent out during the month of March and they are
prepared so as to show not only the total amount of the
taxes due for the year, but also the amount due on account
of each instalment. It. is plainly indicated on the bill
that it is to be used for both the first and second\half,
as you may note from the enclosed bill.
May I point out that if the enclosed bill
is paid after November 21st there will be additional
interest for each day's delay.
Yours truly,

Dear Franklin:
I would suggest that you tell the Newbold
Trustees to pay the tax and as soon as I get some money, I
will refund to them the $60.11. The 1% period for collection
of taxes at Hyde Park does not expire until Feb. 9th. Meanwhile,
I hope to collect the $175. from Moses, which he has promised
to pay on the 25th of this month.
I have paid the taxes on the Tompkins and
Bennett farms and at present there are no funds left in the
bank.
With kindest regards, I am

SHEET No. 2
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
June 18, 1936
creasing during the past few years that it is impossible to tell
what the yield will be on the investment.
It is, of course, possible to get 4% from some investments,
though, naturally, you realize that United States Government long-
term bonds only yield in the neighborhood of 2.60% and corporation
bonds of the highest grade are currently selling to yield in the
neighborhood of 3.25%. The common stocks of companies that seem
to have the best prospects do not yield much more. With the low
interest rates that are prevailing at the present time it is, there-
fore, not possible to get the best regarded securities to yield 4%,
though investment in them could be considered. I shall be very glad
to send you a list of such securities if you would like it.
It appears from our records that the trust for James current-
ly has a value of approximately $11,253 which includes $834.57 added
by him during the last year. Shortly after December, 1928 when he
became twenty-one, the accumulations of income during his minority
were paid to him, and the property remaining in our hands as Trustee
at that time was valued at approximately $8,819.71.
The trust for Elliott is still accumulating. Although he is
over twenty-one, he has not asked for payment of any income. The
value of his trust now amounts to $18,255.
As to Franklin, Jr. 's trust, since he became of age in August,
1935, we have paid to him $3,000 of the previously accumulated income.
We are distributing current income to him at the rate of $50 per month.
The trust now has a value of $13,200.
If you wish, we shall be very glad to compare the current val-
ues of the trusts with values of any date in the past that you may
care to designate. I would think that the values of the securities
have been improving considerably during the last three years.
I hope that this information is what you desire, and I will
be glad to give you further details if you wish.
With best wishes,
Yours affectionately
Vice President
