Miss Roberta Barrows,
Secretary to Hon. Marvin McIntyre
White House
Washington, D.C.
My dear Miss Barrows:
jein
I wish to thank you for your kind letter of July 9. I
regret very much that Mr. McIntyre is not at Washington
and will not be there for some weeks. However, the
matter at hand is very urgent, especially since I received
word today from Carter Barron, Secretary to Lawrence Wood
Robert of the Democratic National Committee, Stevens Hotel,
Chicago, requesting orchestrations of our musical number
"HAIL TO OUR PRESIDENT". Evidently this means that our
composition is receiving favorable consideration. We have
just had a special recording made by the U.S. Navy Band
and today we arranged a vocal chorus sung by one of the
outstanding Fine Arts students of Syracuse University to
sing along with the Band, which turned out very satisfactorily.
I hope I am not too presumptuous in requesting you to see
that President Roosevelt hears this record immediately, before
he leaves for the Chicago convention. I would not make this
request, but the Committee who, as I stated heretofore are
giving the composition favorable consideration, are making
their decision this weekend. This song, dedicated to our
President, can live on forever. In other words there is
nothing political in itsnature. The words are simple and
understandable and will be sung by school children. In fact
I wired our engraver for finished manuscripts so that President
Roosevelt can see this in its completed form. You can
appreciate how important this matter is to us, and Professor
Nelson Brown of Syracuse University, who is a friend of
Mr. McIntyre, assured me that this would reach the President's
attention. Therefore, I hope Mr. McIntyre's absence from the
city will not cause any interruption, and I beg your personal
attention to this matter. You can appreciate the work done

The President has asked me to
acknowledge your letter of July eighteenth
and to thank you for your courtesy in sending
him a copy of the inscribed copy of your book,
"Help Them Live".
May I explain to you, however, that
ever since the President assumed his present
office, he has strictly adhered to a policy not
to comment in any way on the many books, manu-
scripts, articles, etc., that come to his atten-
tion daily. I know you will appreciate the
difficulty of making an exception in one particular
instance and will excuse him.

Dear President Roosevelt:
May I have the pleasure of presenting to you as a gift,
an autographed copy of my book. Help Them Live. which relates
the helping of unfortunates and contains many stories of life,
conditions, and facts in the past ten years.
As an admirer of yours, I have been interested in the
good constructive work you have been doing for our Country
through your wisdom and efforts, throughout your adminstrations,
making this Country of ours a better and finer place to live in.
I would deeply appreciate, if you could spare a few moments
to glance through my book. Although I realize you are a very
very busy person. Would it be possible for you to please write
to me in reference to the contents of the book, and how interest-
ing you have found it?
My sincere appreciation to you,
With best wishes,
remain

BATCHELOR, Joseph E.
Designer and craftsman in
Stained and Leaded Glass
Haddonfield, New Jersey
Wrote to the President asking if they may have the honor and privilege to donate an
antique glass window or medallion in one of the windows in the new Hyde Park library.
Says his Spanish son-in-law, Jose Llera, has in mind incidents in the life of
Meliatthew Fontaine Maury which would make the background for a figure or bust study.
It would be necessary for him to have the particular window size to determine the
proportions, and a sketch would be submitted for possible suggestions and approval.
Discussed the Marine Corps Emblem with his son-in-law, but has decided that he
prefers the wider scope of possibilities and fitness of a Maury study. His daughter
is studying Spanish in Puerto Rico in the hope that she and Jose may be of service
to the Government some day in Latin American relations. -- Miss LeHand replied on
behalf of the President on July 25, 1940, saying that she brought Mr. Batchelor's
letter to the attention of the Architect of the new library, and he advises her
that the type of building which has been constructed is not such as to suggest the
use of an antique glass window or medallion. Architect feels that the special
treatment of any of the windows would be inappropriate in a building for which the
design is based on the early architecture of Dutchess County. President is nonethe-
less grateful and send his sincere thanks. -- (Miss LeHand's reply is as per informa-
tion received from Mr. L. A. Simon, Supervising Architect's Office, Public Buildings
Administration, July 22, 1940, in response to Miss LeHand's memo of July 18, 1940.)

Dear Mr. President:
I have sent to you, under the inevitable "separate
cover" a complimentary copy of a book of mine, Lincoln's Rise
to Power, published in 1937. I hope you will accept it. Thereon
hangs a bit of a tale. Last week my publishers informed me
that they were sending a copy to Mr. Willkie. Doubtless they
were moved to do SO by the striking similarity between the
surprise nominations of Lincoln in 1860 and Willkie in 1940.
When I related this occurrence, with considerable amusement,
for I am of third-term proclivities, to the wife of a noted
Lincoln authority of similar tendencies, she suggested that
I even up matters by sending a copy to the other candidate,
who also possesses Lincolnian qualities (Don't change horses
in the middle of the stream)! This I was delighted to do.
Yours sincerely,
William E. Baringer

Dear Mr. Early:
Your letter of recent date at hand on my return
and note contents with keen interest.
In this connection please be advised that I have
requested the Key Recordings, Corp. manufacturers of the
records of the ceremonies and coronation of His Holiness
Pope Pius, X11 to ship to your address two of the
beautiful albums.
This album will contain three twelve inch records,
six sides, enclosed in a beautiful container and one of them
is for the President and the other for yourself - a sacred
heritage to keep and to hold for all time, that is praised
by all who see it and prised by all those who possess it.
I note that our mutual Marvin McIntyre has returned
after his long exile and siege of illness to the White House
and I sincerely trust he has fully recovered. Please give him
my kindest regards and a little later I will be pleased to
send him also a duplicate copy of the records.
Please inform me if Mrs. Edith Helm is as yet the
Secretary to Mrs. Roosevelt.
May I ask that you acknowledge this as soon as
possible and with kindest regards and best wishes
M.Benediet Yours very trul

My dear Miss Le Hand,
Under separate cover I am mail-
ing you a box of cigars, which I should like to ask you
to be kind enough to present to the President with my
best wishes. The writer is the manufacturer of the Nutura
Cedarap Cigar, which is manufactured at Kingston, N. Y.
I am well aware that our good
President is a cigarette smoker. The tobacco in this cigar
has been very carefully selected and I feel sure that he
would enjoy them after a good meal, at least prevail on
him to try one anyway.
My reason for writing you and
sending same to you is that I feel I know you through,
the Sommerville's of the New Willard, Bill Bray and Brian
Mc Mahon, who are personal friends of mine.
Permit me to say that I have a
vast acquaintance in the Eastern States and if I may be
of service in any small way to the worthy cause please
call on me. I haven't any political motives whatsoever
when I make this offer, just that I could find time to
be of service.
Cordially yours; Back

Mr. President:-
Enclosed is a snap shot of a picture I have made
for you. The entire picture is worked in beads. The de-
sign, of course, is not original, but the idea I think is
different from anything that has ever been made.
I would like to have the privilege of presenting
this to you in person in appreciation of all the good that
I think you have done for this country.
I have also made a handmade pillow top for Mrs.
Roosevelt.
If you feel that you are too busy to see me, I
will send these things to you, but would like to have the
pleasure of meeting you.
Yours truly,

As you suggested in your letter of Sept. 19th, I have
sent my gifts for the President and Mrs. Roosevelt by mail
today.
I am very sorry that I will not have the honor and
pleasure of meeting the President personally, but I do real-
ize that he is severely pressed for time during these crit-
ical times, through which the world is passing.
When you present the picture to him will you be kind
enough to explain it to him. There are 48,419 beads in the
entire picture, and it todkme seven months to complete it in
the spare time I have after work. The pillow top for Mrs.
Roosevelt was made on a wooden frame, with a handmade wooden
needle. I do hope it is made in her favorite color.
Give the President my best wishes for an election in his
favor. He can feel sure that I am doing all in my power to
help, for I think that he has been a wonderful president in
the past seven years.

On the above date Miss LeHand referred to Charles Michelson, Dem. Nat'l. Comm.,
a letter to Miss LeHand from Hendrik Willem van Loon, dated 9/7/40 "From Holland
comes the unpleasant report that the Germans contemplate bringing old
Dr. Hendrik Colijn before a so-called "War guilt tribunal" because as Prime
Minister he was unwilling to cooperate with the Naxis." Has written a book,
"Invasion" to show how and in what manner it can happen here -- hopes to send
the President one copy in about 2 weeks. Supposes Michelson will let him know
if he wants any campaign literature written but thinks campaign seems pretty
well decided. Copy of MAL's reply 9/19/40 sent and copy retained.

Writes President he has arranged with Editor of American Magazine to try
and write a short Primer of Rx Democracy - - some forty questions and answers. It
would take too long to bring out in book form. Would be glad to help President
in any way but thinks he can do best by writing and so will try to finish

Dear Noble.
First permit me to more than thank you for the letter which
I received from you through your Secretary Mr. M. A. LaHand,
dated October 24th, 1.940 regarding my book "America for Americans"
visit to Philadelphia.
and the acknowledgement of my wire to you of that date of your
I wish to more than congratulate you on the out-standing
victory you so well earned yesterday which to all real Americans,
was a certainty as, although we may be infested with certain
un-American, and Anti-American elements, the voice of the millions
of True Americans who in unison called upon you yesterday to once
again lead them should more than assure all of us of the security
and future of our Great Nation.
I can well appreciate that, at this writing you and your
entire staff are and will be deluged with correspondente of all
kinds from all parts of the world, however, as I am making every
effort to complete, publish, and release my second edition, evised
up to 1941 of my book-"America for Americans" with which you are
acquainted so that it may be avail to both our citizens and aliens,
by or before the first of the year, it is neccessary that I call
your attention to a letter which I received from you in 1933.
If I may presume upon your secretary to refer to your files
regarding a letter sent to me, from you through your secretary
Mr. Stephen Early, dated May 29th, 1933, In which you state that
you have no objections to my useing your photograph on the front
cover of my original edition of my book "America for Americans",
of that date.
It would be my privilege and great honor if you would have no
objection, at this time in my placing your picture on the cover
on my second revised edition "America for Americans", and my
dedicating this edition to you.
I may advise you that the only change in this my second edition
"America for Americans" will be the addition of all requisite new
Legislation, and constitutional amendents up to 1941, for the Library
and reference of both citizens and aliens.
Sincerely hopeing that this request will meet with your approval
may I ask you where I may best secure a photograph of you, which in
your opinion, will be suitable for the front cover of my book

Should there be any suggestions or criticisms that you feel
may be of benefit in this book I will deeply appreciate and carry
out your suggestions.
My one hope and desire is that this book, not because it is mine,
but because it answers many many questions in which our people are
from time to time confused concerning the Laws and Principles of
our American system of Government, that this book may be placed in
the hands of every citizen and most particularly every alien, enjoying
the Freedom of our shores.
Wishing you, from my heart the greatest of success in the guidance
of our people and our Nation, and assuring you, that, I, for one will
devote every thought and effort in doing my share in furthering your
programme.

My Dear Mr. President;
I am taking the liberty of presenting
you with several sets of ear drum protectors.
They are of my own invention after having
devoted considerable time experimenting and testing in perfecting
such a protective device that affords ones comfort with assured
protection for the ear drums from constant irritating, damaging
and destructive missile-like convective forces.
The inclosed booklet will exemplify their
practical uses, being constructed so that the wearer can hear
and understand ordinary conversation, commands, signals and
telephone communication while in use. The voice is only slight;ly
muffled.

Mr. Marvin McIntyre,
Secretary to President Roosevelt
White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. McIntyre:
y
At the suggestion of Congressman William T. Schulte of Indiana, I am writing
this letter to you, and am sending under separate cover a composition on Lincoln,
dedicated to President Roosevelt, which composition is linked with President Roose-
velt's activities. I have incorporated a picture of Lincoln's statue in the
Washington Memorial in this composition, and have framed it.
If it will not conflict too much with the President's burdensome duties, I
would appreciate your presenting it to the President, with my compliments. I have
a twofold purpose in this; one, the expression of appreciation, as a voter, of the
activities of President Roosevelt for the general welfare. The second is the
possibility of its use in the campaign to assist in his election, which I deem
vital in this crisis.
It may be of interest to know that I was a life-long Republican until 1936,
when I voted for the New Deal. On the President's record I see no reason to change
my position, and shall vote for him in the coming election, as well as influencing
and keeping in line about twenty more former Republican relatives and friends.
As you will note from this letterhead, I am in the auditing business. I also
own an apartment building. I am interested in the general welfare of the country,
and that the economic order may be so remodeled and regulated, that my children
will have at least as good a chance in the future as I have had in the past.
This composition was begun last March, when I attended the convention of the
Committee for the Protection of Foreign Born, as a delegate from the Lake County,
Indiana, Civil Liberties Committee. At this time I visited the Lincoln Memorial,
and was informed by the taxi driver, who drove me to it, that Washington's Monument
completely obliterated the dome of the Capital when viewed from the center of the
Lincoln statue. I have incorporated this fact in the composition. I finished
the composition and wrote the dedication on draft registration day.
May I express my appreciation of your attention, and my best wishes to you,
the President, and Mrs. Roosevelt.
Sincerely yours,
H. E. Biedinger
