Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt-,
Dear Friend,
A short time ago, I read an article in a Magazine, telling of your
visit to President Cleveland, and how thrilled you were, because you had always admired
him SO much,
XPR7 qP
After reading that articlel began to think that I might have in my
possession, something you might like to have, These were handed down to me from my Grand-
fether, both he and my Mother were strong Democrats,
I speak of two china Plates, one with the name and picture of
Grover Clevelend and the other with the name and nicture of Thomas A. Hendricks.
The pictures are very clear and the plates in good condition.
At one time we though we might realize something from them, but
in this day of Automobiles, no one can be bothered with such things, I have no one to
leave them to, so I though that if you do not have anything of that kind, end would like
to have them, I will be very glad to give them to you, 88 I feel you would appreciate
them. I do not know how or where my Grandfather got them, but he was very proud of them,
I also have a Book entitled "Daring and Suffering", by Wm.
Pittenger, describing the "Andrews Reilroad Raid" during the Civil Wer, This must be 8.
true story, as this book come to my Mother from her Cousin William Knight, one of the
Engineers in that raid, If this interests you or it can be used for its history, I will
be glad to send it too,
I also wish to express my appreciation, for the good work you are
doing in your office,
Hope I may hear from you soon in regard to the above matter,
Sincerely,
Pearl L. ALLen

My dear President Roosevelt.
I thank you for your letter of 4th inst.
I am glad that you have accepted my silk picture as a gift of mine
for the white House But my purpose in sending it was under the
condition that you should have its photograph and history be pub-
lished in all the papers
My intention in doing so, , was to wipe
out the defamation of my character As my reputation has been
spoiled , since Mr. Morgan has convicted me Otherwise it does
not serve for its purpose For if you would obliged me to do so, ,
I will be pleased to send you another gift to you, which would
be much more valuable and worthy to you than this picture
In the mean time, I wish to inform
you that I wrote to Senator Borah since Mr. Putnam has refused to
recommend my Ethiopic Codex to the Congress Asking him to inves-
tigate this matter
I also wrote to Judge Gaffey, asking
him to send my letter to the Suprem Court, in order to let them
investigate the cause of this corruption, as the monopoly of the
Art dealers have boycotted my business , which is going on since
SO many years And that is the cause and consequence of bringing
such chaotic condition . As Mr. Putnam does not understand why
there is such prejudice against me which does not only prevents
my progress, but even it paralyzes the progress of art and all
kinds of culture in our country AS does the Met. useum same
thing for my Michelangelo statue, which should be considered the
glory of our country In order to prove you how much corruption
is going on in our educational Institutions, you would be surpri-
we
zed to know that, since I wrote you about Miss Bertha Wiles who
is considered an authority on the works of Michelangelo's work,
the Fogg's Art Museum have remouved her from that institution .
This means not only corrupting the laws of our Constitution, but
even of the commerce, both of which are considered the gates of
our civilization Therefore if my Constitutional rights shall
not be ajusted, I am going reveal the whole secret of their cor-
ruption. For my fight is not only for my selfish satisfaction
but for the welfare of our country For which cause you are fi-
ghting too So this will help your cause , as evidence what is
going in our country.
I hope this time you will take into
history of my picture be published in all the papers in
consideration my proposition, and have the photograph For and the
doing to such so, cruelty, but at the same time it will help uplift the
not it will help me to wipe out my unjust condamnation, to
moral of our country.

RECEIVED
While I been waiting patiently the answer
of my letters, I am sending an Italian silk picture as a gift of mine
to the white House As a messenger which will tell her strange story.
It represents the Queen of Elisabeth of
Hungary giving alms to the poor. It was this picture which inspired
me to write the second verse of my poetry, which I inclosed in my
Send picture to W.H. museum
letter of 29th Ult
This will prove my statement that art is
neither the joke nor the joy of the world, but the centre and the
circle of our civilization , as well as the blood and bone of our cul-
ture
The reason I am sending it to the White
House, in order to teach America a good lesson, as how in the olden
times they use to defeat the depression So I feel if you would have
published this picture in all the papers and let the public see and
study its history, I think it will revival the moral of our millio-
nairs
AS you will notice the picture is execu-
ted so beautifully with gold, silver and silk threads, that it may
inspire many millionairs, as much as it did me For neither the mat-
ter nor the money could heal the wounds of the wretched poor , unless
the pity and mercy of our millionairs would meangle such sentiments,
as the Queen Elisabeth showing the example in this picture . Therefore
I feel the history of this picture may enlighten the minds of our mil-
lionairs As I wrote before Even the whole mountains of this world
will turn into gold, yet neither the depression nor such decadence of
our present time will diminish, unless America change her attitude
and set an example to the whole world.
For this purpose I purchassed this picture
in 1929 from one of the oldest mansions on the Grand Canal in Venice
Though the Lady who owned it was not willing to part with it, but I
liked it so much that, I forced her to sell it to me.
The history relates that Queen Elisabeth

P.S. I also wrote directly to Mr. Putnam on the first of this month.
and am waiting his final decision. The reason I am pressing this
matter, is because I have to go to Italy to prepare the exhibition
of my sculptures of the Leo, da, Vinci and Michelangelo . Both thse
masters works has inspired me , while I loved and lived with them,
so much so, that their influence has reflected on my mind AS the N
Greek philosopher has said. (1 What I see that is what I become ."
Which is a true fact, as I experience it myself. And that is why
such great masterpieces are priceless to those who undersrand same and
appriciate them.

My dear President Roosevelt
II Let us not be a mere man of vision
but man of action As that is what America expects
The reason I am writing this text, is
because you officially stated recently that the door of the White
House is open to any citizen who cares to inform their veiws
According to your instruction, I wrote
four letters. Besides these on Feb. 14th, I sent by parcel post an
Italian silk picture representing the Queen Elisabeth giving alms
to the poor as a gift of mine to the White House. The reason I
sent this picture asking you to be good enough to have the photo-
graph and its history published in all the papers Thinking that
it may inspire and instruct America, as how in the olden times they
use to overcome such depressions
Having not received any reply to my let-
ters, nor any acknoledgement of my parcel, from the White House, I am
wondering whether White House has received it or not ?
Mr. Putnam answered my recent letter ne-
gatively The copy of his letter I am inclosing herewith. So I un-
derstand he is not anxious to secure such a valuable volum as my Et-
hiopic Codex The reason of which I think the big dealers not only
do prevent Mr. Putnam to purchase my Bible, but even my Michelangelo
statue because of their jealousy That is why they have boycotted
my business Such an act should be considered barbarism
In order to prove my statement I am in-
losing the copy of the letter of the Boston Museum As such are the
answers I have received from our Museums and Libraries since years.
So that you will understand there is prejudice against me That is why.
I wrote you, that I am forced to denounce my citizenship As my
Constitutional rights have been robbed from me While I never made
harm to any one of them, but I tried to serve in studying, tra-
veling any and collecting since 35 years such valuable art treasures, which
should be considered the glories of our country And yet instead in-
to the prision. So allow me to ask you Is this an American aspira-
couraging or appriciating my efforts, they try to to persecut me, even
tion or a satanic civilization ? Then how do we expect such a country
should progress and prosper, while there are such corruptions be in our
country Consequently I say Either our Constitution must closed scrap-

Dear Sir:
I thank you for generously assenting to see
that the "Cumare" hammock, which is being mailed to
you today, reaches the President.
I can assure you that the only thought behind
my letter was that of offering him something which
is, in my opinion, valuable for its rarity, and not
readily procurable. This type of pleasurable comfort
is not innate to North Americans.
He has shown marked cordiality to South America,
and it occurred to me that he might appreciate some-
thing typically South American.
No doubt there will be some who will inquire
about the procurement of the hammocks, and, while they
can only be procured from us in America, it would have
never occurred to me to mar my offer with the taint of
commercialism.
I hope that the President will use it, and that
you tell me, when your duties allow, if he enjoys it.

product which I think he would enjoy extremely well both at Hyde Park as
well as in Georgia.
I have been refrained from doing so, however, by fear of commit-
ting a breach of etiquette, but now it occurs to me that you might be
I
willing to present this offering to your father, and that he would not
think me presumptuous for doing SO,
The article which I have in mind is a South American "cumare" Ham-
mock made of fibre which grows in the wilderness of Colombia and the
upper Amazon River. This hammock is delicately hand-twisted, and the
strands of rope of very fine texture are woven by the skillful hands
of natives. The hammock weighs between two and three pounds and oc-
cupies a very small space, and still it is guaranteed to withstand
weight between one thousand and two thousand pounds.
"Cumare" fibre is known for its almost indestructible texture.
beinfol
Marine ropes made of this material, used in the Amazon River boats,
have been in use there for over twenty-five years without deteriorat-
ing or losing their primitive value.
I imported these hammocks, which are comparatively few, and I am
offering them privately to those people who, in my opinion, are capable
of appreciating something that is extraordinary by its rarity and in-
trinsic value.
I would be very pleased to send you, if you permit me, one or two
of these hammocks to give your father an opportunity to try them on
his next trip to Georgia; and even you, yourself, when going hunting
or to your country retreat, might like to try one of them to experience
that South American indolent leisure.
I send you a picture that I took, but I must warn you that it does
not give full credit to the article. One must use one of these hammocks

in Rio. Is going to the middle West for a business trip and after his return would like
to come to Washington for an interview with the President. The President replied, on
April 25th, thanking Mr. Callaway for the aquamarine and saying it will be kept in front
of a little glass vetrine wherein he keeps a few treasures. The President said that on

his mantelpiece was good old Neptune--to remind him of Mr. Callaway and of the ordeal of
being haled before Neptune's Court on crossing the line. The President expressed hope
that Mr. Callaway would come to Washington soon.

Dear Sir:
I am mailing you a Campaign Poster mounted on cardboard
which is a good example of lithography as done from the
stone process.
The poster starts with -- THE ISSUE -- 1900, Liberty --
Justice -- Humanity. These are still the "issues", how-
ever, we are meeting them with less tolerance.
The broken bell with the date "1776" and inscription --
"Liberty", has lost a great deal of its significance due
to special privelege with its accessory, political spoils.
It appears that a thought expressed by Thomas Paine some
years ago could be considered with effect:
"An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It
leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply
even the best of laws. He that would make his own lib-
erty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression;
for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent
that will reach to himself."
A knowledge of economics and human relationship is more
necessary than silver-tongued spell-binding oratory and
political manuevering for the benefit of a few.
I hope you will accept this poster for whatever value its
illustrations may possess.
Respectfully yours,
M. L. Abrams.

Little Rock, Arkansas,
June 21, 1938.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
This being my first attempt to ever write to the President of the
United States I am thrilled. My name is Tranny P. Arnold. I am a
disabled World War veteran, born in Arkansas. My trade for twenty-
five years was cleaning windows, buildings and dewelling homes.
Most of this time was spent in Little Rock, Arkansas. For five
years I have been unable to do this work because of illness of long
standing, created in the Army. I am married and the father of six
children; four girls and two boys. All are doing fine in school.
My wife is living and is very smart. One of the best mothers in the
world.
Dear President, I don't know how to address you. I have never had a
teacher to tell me how to write you. Since I have been unable to
work, when I am able I go fishing. I have liked fishing from boyhood.
I have experimented in fishing for a number of years. I think I am
almost as good as Mr. Jack Lamb, our champion Bass fisherman. I am
going to write a book on fishing, including how to fish with live
baits.
Your Honor, please accept this Fly Fishing Bait in the honor of
Arkansas. The fur for this bait was donated by Benszky, Furrier &
Designer, 811 Main Street, Little Rock, Arkansas. I created this
bait through experimenting. I have used it for four years. The fur
will not cling to the hook whilein the water. It flares out and
when pulled in the water it trembles and quivers life-like, so much
so, it will catch more fish than any other wet Fly Bait. When
through fishing pull the bait through two closed fingers to run the
water out and lay it in the sun to dry. When dry give it a riffle
with the finger and it will be just as fluffy as before using. You
can catch over fifty bass with one of the baits and it will not be
worn out.
The hook is wrapped with small wire in two directions to prevent the
fur skin from slipping when it is applied. The fur is applied to the
hook in two parts. If I use a streamer, or a piece of the fur skin,
thats the first application. The first piece of fur is placed over
PRES.FDR#2
the streamer or skin used in the place of porkrind, as is used in
the large bait I have made for you, and the last piece of fur is cut
and sewed on the end of the hook. This, near the eye completes the
bait. When this fur bait is used the skin harden and is hard to
even cut from the hook with a knife. This bait may be called the
"Fur Wizard Fishing Fly". The dry fly popping bug is called "Flying
Beauty".
My oldest son will be out of High School next year. I am training
him to make the bait to create for him a job when he is out of
college. He is a Tranny, Jr., fifteen years old and very smart in
his studies.
Dear President, please allow me to compliment you as a fisherman. I
think you are fine. I admire you in every respect. I enjoy your
Fire-side addresses. Will you please Sir, if you have a discarded
Fly Rod, allow your butler to send me one? I would be happy to keep
it as a much treasured souvenir with my collection of gifts.
Please pardon me for my long message.
I am,
Very sincerely yours,
Tranny P. anold.
