November 8, 1943. Dear Mr. President: I am sending you, through Miss Tully, a copy of my new book, Road to Peace and Freedom, which goes on sale on Tuesday, November 16. There is enough criticism of your foreign policies in this book so that I do not think anybody can say it was written for political purposes personal to you. For that reason it may be the more effective in promoting your basic policies. I can't help thinking that it will have a good deal of influence, both in foreign policy and in checking the reactionary drift in domestic affairs, if it gets a wide enough reading. You spoke of having it on your desk during some press conference. I hope a reading of it won't dash that idea, For perfection in timing, the impact of the Moscow declaration upon senatorial deliberations should stand as a model for some time. I left The Sun at the end of October, and am living with my wife and daughter in a cottage on a wooded hillside a mile from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You should get into that park some time to see the big hemlocks. Sincerely yours, I ming Brant The President, The White House.

The President is ever grateful for the prayers of the many loyal citizens throughout the Nation during these strenuous days. I have had pleasure in handing the medal to Mrs. Roosevelt in accordance with your wishes. Very sincerely yours, e Grace G.

So St. Christopher will do the job best of all, so long as his medals are worn on the person, or carried. Worn by both Non- Catholics and Catholics in these days - especially by Service Men. Nov. 7, 1943. of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 11/19/43 white House, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: In compliance with a "hunch" of mine, I am enclosing a copy of a new book, which I have recently received from the Franciscian Monastery, several medals, etc., for your attention, and use. The Book, "The Prophets and Our Times," by Rev. Gerald Culleton, gives super-natural knowledge of our times and of the times to come, as revealed by God to various Saints throughout the centuries. Such knowledge, 1 believe, is very necessary for you to have in administering the affairs of our nation, in these super-critical times. For fore-knowledge is to be fore-warned. I am quite certain that you will find the contents of this book very surprising.- God often reveals to those who live close to him. I am quite certain that our Saintly Holy Father, Pope Pius, knows from his close contact with Almighty God, that he will be forced to flee "Rome", and die a cruel death in exile a year later. The reason I believe he knows, is that in read- ing of Arch-bishop Spellman's story of his travels in the current issues of Colliers, he spoke of the Holy Father having given to him his gold chain and cross, which he received when he was consecrated Bishop twenty-five years ago, and has worn constantly. It read to me as a last parting gift of friend to friend. 1 hope our government will go # above and beyond the line of duty", in helping God's Holy Servant. Again, the food famine, control of which rests entirely in God's hands, as does everything else. You will also be surprised to learn that the pagan nations; Russia, Japan and Turkey will form an alliance to fight the Christian World. But read for yourself, all this and more. Two St. Christopher metals are enclosed - the patron saint of all travelers. After reading an article in a recent Liberty magazine, of the great force of Secret Service men needed to protect you in traveling, 1 thought both you and Mrs. Roosevelt need super-natural protection as well. So St. Christopher will do the job best of all, so long as his medals are worn on the person, or carried. Worn by both Non- Catholics and Catholics in these days - especially by Service Men. FR-2 To acquaint you with the largest circulating newspaper of its kind in the United States, 1 am enclosing a few copies of "Our Sunday Visitor" read by millions of Catholics and Non-Catholics alike. My reason in doing this is because it has been cut by the 10% paper reduction, and faces another cut in the forthcoming additional reduction- it simply can't be. After looking at the prolific output of trashy magazines on the news stands, such as Love Story, Dectective, Horror, etc., and the valuable paper wasted on such trash, it seems to me that some discrimination should be made in this paper reduction business between the essential and non-essential. Inspirational religious magazines VS. trash. The Word of God, and all things pertaining to God, are more than ever essential this day. For its the Army on its knees, that is keeping our Army on its feet. (Prayer). God, is our First Line of Defense. We Need HIM, but He doesn't need us. So please let us have plenty of paper for inspirational religious reading, especially such as only I catholics can write. The soul needn't starve. I do hope the "Sunday Visitor" may be restored to its full size soon again of FOUR SHEETS EVERY WEEK. Thank you. May the inspiration and blessings of God be with you and yours - always. Your Catholic friend, Misa Florence Mae Belford.

Watson, Secretary to the President, The White House, Washington, D. C. Dear General: Personal One of the referred-to "unusual things" that I purchased in Nome, and which I never had seen before, were some Stocks; which is a combination of sock--shoe that the Eskimoes make to wear inside of their mukluks; and which I find extremely comfortable and nice to wear as bed-room shoes as they do not have any stiff parts. These Stocks are made out of either reindeer skin or moose hide with the fur turned inside. I sent some of them to my good friends, Thomas J. Watson, Fred H. Eckert, and others around New York, and they seemed to get a big kick out of them; so, therefore, I ordered a few additional pair which arrived the first of this week. I never had the pleasure of personally meeting our President, but I did have the great pleasure and honor of knowing and occasionally seeing his adorable, brainy, grand, and charming mother during the last years of her life. And in memory of the great pleasure that it gave me to see and be with her, I, in ordering the additional pairs of Stocks, asked that one pair of them be a little finer and more unusual than the others with the idea of my sending that pair to the President; and I hope that he will find as much pleasure out of wearing them as I enjoy sending them to him. The first of this week I had shipped from here via mail this referred-to pair of Stocks made from the moose hide with its being addressed to the President via you; and won't you please be good enough to, upon receipt of the same, give them to our wonderful President.

The President said he was told that the book's title means "Garden of Roses", and thus this gift will occupy a warm and intimate pla ce in his memories of the all too brief sejourn among the people of Iran.

SUBJECT: Presentation to the President of Certain Artistic Prints by Mr. Frank E. Beresford. The Honorable The Secretary of State, Washington, D.C. Sir, I have the honor to enclose a letter presenting to the President certain prints of pictures painted by Mr. Frank E. Beresford, who is now working with the U. S. Army Forces in this country. These prints, which are of pictures of American officers and air force units in this country, are sent as a separate accompaniment to this despatch. Mr. Beresford, who is an artist of repute, is an admirer of the United States and it is understood that he is giving his services free to the U.S. Army. Mr. Beresford thought the President might be interested in these prints, particularly since he accepted a copy of an earlier picture forwarded by Ambassador Bingham in 1936, which the President acknowledged in a letter to Mr. Beresford. In the light of these circumstances, it is hoped that the Department will perceive no objection to having Mr. Beresford's letter and prints transmitted to the White House.
