Thank you, on behalf of the Presi-
dent, for your letter of November twenty-eighth.
It was especially thoughtful of you to send him

What you say about your son has been

Such a one has just been brought in to me - "Please look in the box so they

Dear Mr. President:
Enclosed is a special copy of "Prisons in Wartime"
which gives the story of our State prison industrial and

agricultural activity during this present conflict.
The material for this book was arranged by the
Prison War Programs Office of the War Production Board.
Its printing was made possible through the cooperation
and contributions of the Penal Industries Association
along with a group of consultants of the War Production
Board who have been active in this prison war effort.
It is our hope you will find this material very
interesting, and that it will prove useful in your
library.
If you have any comments, we will be glad to hear
from you, as we believe that America can be exception-
ally proud of this sizable war contribution on the part
of our State penal institutions.
Sincerely yours, have
