MERCHANTS NATIONAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY
ORGANIZED IN 1845
POUGHKEEPSIE. NEW YORK
January 2, 1942
Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt
The White House
Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. President:
We were so pleased this morning to receive your letter of
the 30th enclosing check for $2000.
We have used this check to re-open your old account with
us. Perhaps you had overlooked it, but you have had $100
on deposit with us for many years, having left that sum
at the time you closed your active connection. We have
always felt that you left that balance through sentiment;
that you did not wish to entirely terminate the connection
which had existed between your family and this bank for a
great many years. We have maintained the account believing
and hoping someday you would take the action you are now
taking. That is why it is particularly gratifying to us.
Making new friends is nice, welcoming back old ones is
nicer.
We have credited the $2000 to your old account, making a
balance of 2100. Although we have an old signature,
perhaps it would be best to have new ones. Cards for
these are enclosed, together with a new pass book. We
are forwarding a check book under separate cover.
We take this opportunity to extend to you our very best
wishes and to pledge our loyal support of your handling of
our common difficult task.
We have the honor to remain,
Yours faithfully,
D. Spraitted

PRESIDENT
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
NEW YORK
TREASURER
BASIL O'CONNOR
February 26, 1942.
The President,
The White House,
Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. President:
Enclosed please find statements of your accounts
at Warm Springs for the year 1941.
1. Personal Account - Little White House and Mrs. James
Roosevelt Cottage
2. Foundation Farm Account to May 31, 1941.
3. Pine Mountain Valley Farm Account to May 31, 1941.
Please note that you had a rental income from the
Mrs. James Roosevelt Cottage of $216.25 and expenses of $32.53 made
up of the items ticked off on statement.
You will note that you have been charged with 5/12ths
of the farm taxes and 5/12ths of the loss for the year. This is
because the Foundation took over the operation of the farm as of June
1, 1941, and it seemed more equitable to charge you on an apportioned
basis than simply the first five months as that would have included
the planting but no revenue therefrom.
Regarding taxes - the amounts shown on personal state-
ment are 1940 taxes paid in 1941. The taxes for 1941 not yet paid are
as follows:
Farm taxes - Meriwether County
$279.59
Harris County
90.19
Total
$369.78
5/12ths chargeable to your Account
$154.08
Little White House taxes
89.43
Total 1941 taxes
$243.51
The Foundation Farm Account shows a beginning balance
also a payment to Pine Mountain Valley of $1,349.18 covering their 1940
account which was reported to you last year. Your net loss on farm
operations for 1941 exclusive of taxes is as follows:
Foundation account
Pine Mountain Valley account

Dear Henry:-
Have you enough money to pay these,
and how do these assessments check up with last
year's? Could you give me a comparison?
I see no reason for paying the tax
on the "right of Ways on the north end of the
Dunphy place because that is merely a farm
road now and is in no sense a "right of way"
which vests in any other person.

Mr. Hackett wrote me some weeks ago asking for an explanation of
some slight discrepancies in your Mother's accounts running over a period
of twenty years, amounting in total to $268.17. I asked Mr. Miller of the
New York Office, to explain these discrepancies directly to Mr. Hackett,
and he sent me one copy of the statement for myself and one for you, which
I am enclosing herewith. All I can say is, to use the phraseology of the
bookkeepers of the last generation, E and OE.
I am sorry to trouble you with this matter, but there are really no

The President,

My dear Mr. President:
Enclosed please find statements of your accounts
at Warm Springs for the year 1941.
1. Personal Account - Little White House and Mrs. James
Roosevelt Cottage
2. Foundation Farm Account to May 31, 1941.
3. Pine Mountain Valley Farm Account to May 31, 1941.
Please note that you had s rental income from the
Mrs. James Roosevelt Cottage of $216.25 and expenses of 632.53 natio
up of the items ticked off on statement.
You will note that you have been charged with 5/12ths
ob the form taxes and 5/12ths of the loss for the year. This is
because the Foundation took over the operation of the farm as of June
1, 1941, and it seemed more equitable to charge you on an apportioned
basis than simply the first five months as that would have included
the planting but no revenue therefrom.
Regarding taxes - the amounts shown on personal state-
ment are 1940 taxes paid in 1941. The taxes for 1941 not yet paid are
as follows:
Farm taxes - Meriwether County
$279.59
Harris County
90.19
Total
$369.78
5/12ths chargeable to your Account
$154.08
Little White House taxes
89.43
Total 1941 taxes
$243.51
The Foundation Farm Account shows a beginning balance
also a payment to Pine Mountain Valley of $1,349.18 covering their 1940
account which was reported to you last year. Your net less on farm
operations for 1941 exclusive of taxes is as follows:

Mr.William F.Cronin
Executive Assistant to the Postmaster General
Washington,D.C.
Dear Mr.Cronin:
The collection of papers sold Mr.Walker
contains all the papers I have seen from Miss.
Ellen Roosevelt's collection.
It is impossible for me to state that the
collection contains all the papers which were in
Miss Ellen Roosevelt's collection.
During the last year I have purchased many
papers not included in Miss Roosevelt's coldection
or in that of amy member of the family. These papers
were included in the lot sold Mr.Walker 0 They add
much to the importance of the collection
Very truly yours
Charles P. Event
MEMO FOR
D. J. B.
Hold for word from Frank Walker
enclosing letters from these two
gentlemen saying that they turned
over all the Roosevelt Papers obtained
from Miss Ellie Roosevelt. When we
have received this, give to me to
show the President and then I shall
pay the bills.

Dear Mr. Walker:
Herewith are the
two documents which appear to help
complete the transaction which has
been the subject of our telephonic
communications.
May I repeat a defini-
tion, or rather, a comment of a great
book collector? The late Sir William
Osler said "The true bibliophile takes
his keenest pleasure in seeing an
important document in its proper home. II
Sincerely yours
