My dear Mr. Crouse:
is
The President was very happy to have
the picture you sent with your note of the
seventh and appreciates your thoughtfulness in
sending it to him. I am sorry you do not
like the two photographs we sent you but
perhaps at a later date you will see something
you think more "striking" that you can use
for your portrait. Again thanking you for
sending along the McKinley photograph.
Very sincerely yours,
LOUIS McH. HOWF

Mr. Louis McKinley Howe
Secretary to President Roosevelt,
Washington, D. C.
about Dear Mr. Howe:
Recently I received the two photographs of President Roosevelt you so
kindly sent me, from which I am to make the portrait I wished to produce.
I wish to thank you for your consideration and trouble, but I am afraid
they are not the strong, contrasty type I can use. I think of the President in a
much different manner than these photos portray him. He has a lot more character
thanthese prints show and this photographer has gotten. The Photos appear to have
been highly retouched thereby destroying the real character lines I need. The
photographer has weilded his retouching uite too freely and attempted to improve
on the fine features of Mr. Roosevelt.
All of my successful portraits have been made from photographs I have
made myself, but nayurally, in this instance, it is quite impossible to do. I
would much prefer to deny myself the pleasure and privilege of making the drawing
if I cannot have the President as he really is. My thought is a striking, strong
side view with contrasty lighting.
I am losing an original photograph for you to present to the President
with my sincere compliments an d good wishes--a photograph I, myself, took some
40 years ago--(I was possibly 8 or 9 years old, I do not recall the exact date of
the occasion)
It was made st the time President McKinley attended the funeral of General
Sherman in Mansfield, Ohio. (my home)
President McKinley had just left his train at the depot and was being
driven to the Sherman residence. This photograph has never been used and is one of
possibly 3 in existence. It is interesting inasmuch as it was possible for me, as a
small boy and with a very cheap box camera, to be able to get as close to make the
exposure.
I believe the President will enjoy having this original and exclusive
print in his personal collection--one he could not possible get elsewhere.
I am only sorry I cannot proceed with his portrait based on the photos
you sent me, which I an am returning to you herewith. If at some future time, he
is photographed in some striking natural way & you remember my needs, I shall
certainly appreciate deeply being remembered with a print.
I trust the President will receive with interest my photograph of the
past President William McKinley,
My apologies to you for writing so long a letter.
Thank you, Respectfully
Frederick F. Crouse.

Esteemed Sir:
I
As a New Year's Greeting to you, I have ordered to be
shipped from John S. Weaver, Lebanon, pa., a famous product
which is made in this community.
Your friend of the past, Al Smith, has caused SO much
comment by calling the United States medium of exchange
a "baloney dollar" that I thought you might be tempted to
return the compliment by showing him a "dollar bologna".
It occurs to me, that a picture of you holding this dollar
bologna in your hand, might be a fitting New Year's card
for him.
May I also take the liberty to suggest that after your
next cabinet meeting, which must be a serious affair these
days, you have some of this bologna sliced and served to
all cabinet members, with a glass of good, real beer.
Be assured that a great many good old Pennsylvania Repub-
licans appreciate your constructive efforts and believe
implicitly in the N. R. A.
A Happy New Year.

Dear Mr.Roosevelt:

Well -
I am going him one better.
I am going to ask you to -
find
"Smile Awhile."
You have the best of me, because you not
only wear a smile, but there is a smile in your voice, and
that gives it a stamp of sincerity, making your spoken WO-
rds believable. I must print mine in cold type.
There is a paragraph in this "Smile Aw-
hile" book, by my wife's favorite author, which reads, The
face of a man often makes his spoken words unbelievable."
And, there is a lot of truth in that. God was good to you.

I know you are too busy to do much rea-
ding, but there are times when we all welcome something a
little different to free our minds of more serious thou-
ghts, and that is why I am sending you my little "Smile

Good wishes and -

Dear Sir:
I have just returned home from Washington after
delivering the cake to your residence personally,
and regretted very much that I was unable to see
and meet you as that was my main purpose in €0-
ing to Washington. I sincerely hope that this
emblematic cake meets with your utmost approval.
I left a copy describing the meaning of each in-

trustithat you have acquired enough confidence
in my being a faithful and honest citizen, who is
exceedingly interested in your administration,
that you will honor me by eating the Fruit Cake
foundation of this cake fat your Christmas Dinner.
I would like very much to put the picture of the
cake in the Movie News Reel, but conditions are
very poor. By doing this, it would show the world
that the President of the U.S.A. has many valuable
and true friends.
With the Season's Greetings for a Merry Christmas
and a Prosperous New Year and many thanks for your
past correspondence which I hope will prompt you
to answer this,
I remain,
Very truly yours,

The cake in its entirety represents the United
States of America. The base, upon which rests
three upper units, is indicative of the mass
of Americans, all blended into a harmonious
whole. The 48 stars around the tiers stand
for the 48 states, each separate and distinct,
yet all contributing to make the perfected
Union. The shaft represents the centraliza-
tion of responsibility and authority, in the
President and in the Capitol. The rough outer
surface shows the impenetrable rights and safe-
guards which surround the President, and the
Flag representing the Republic for which it
stands.
To the Honorable President and Mrs. F.D. Roosevelt,
Creetings:
This memento is presented as a token
of highest esteem and with the season's
best wishes.

Dear President Roosevelt:
We have had so many favorable comments on our Christmas
show window at this bank that we feel justified in sending you herewith
some prints of the display. Except for our suggestions as to the
identification marks of the presents in Santa's sleigh, the idea was
conceived and executed by Mr. F. L. Clawson of this city, from whom a
letter to yourself is likewise enclosed.
May we add that our entire organization is enthusiastic
in its support of your entire program for recovery, including bank guarantee
of deposits, which SO many bankers, particularly in the east, are accepting
with rather poor grace. Our president, Mr. M. S. Eccles, is chairman of
the C. W. A. for Utah and has gained nation-wide recognition for his spoken
views on the economic situation and the way to its improvement through
governmental activity. Mr. E. G. Bennett, formerly our managing vice-
president, is now a director of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
by your appointment.
Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and a
Healthy and Prosperous 1934, we are

Dear Mr. President:
I have just had the pleasure of re-reading Justice
Brandeis' "Other People's Money" originally published as a
result of the Pujo investigation. The lapse of years has only
served to emphasize the truth and vision of the book and the man.
If every citizen could read it today your position in your fight
against the money power would be impregnable.
You may be interested in knowing that "Other People's
Money" has just been re-published by the National Home Library
Foundation in the 15¢ Jacket Library edition. I am taking the
liberty of enclosing a copy to you.
If there is any way that the Administration can bring
this book before the public, I feel sure it would result in a
furtherance of the ideas and ideals you are so ably and courageously
sponsoring.
Sincerely yours,

Mr. Marvin H. McIntyre,

Dear Marvin:
Somtime ago I wrote you to tell the Presi-
dent that I would send him two milk fed turkeys for
Christmas and asked you to be on the lookout for them
and one for your own Christmas dinner. Through some
misunderstanding there has been a slip-up in having
the turkeys prepared. In other words, they should
have been feeding them on a milk diet for the past
two weeks - during the time I was on my hunting trip
in Mexico.
I was greatly disappointed when I returned
and found the turkeys were not ready - not that it will
make any particular difference to the President as I am
sure he will have many turkeys sent him, however I was
tmb
exceedingly anxious to have him eat a Shady Oak Farm
turkey for Christmas and that you and Mrs. McIntyre
should enjoy one also.
In lieu of the live turkey I intended to
send you, I will send within a few days (Perhaps not
in time for Christmas) a real smoked turkey, a rare
delicacy I think you will enjoy. I trust it will be
acceptable even though Christmas may have passed be-
fore its arrival.
I had two weeks of real hunting in old
Mexico, killing three bucks, three wild turkeys, a
wolf and crippled a bear. Believe it or not, I shot
his "pa" and he did not seem to care. We had a nice
time - traveled about 1,100 miles by automobile, road
fifteen or twenty miles horseback in the mountains
and walked about sixty miles. When I crossed the
border at Del Rio on my return the Custom Authority
insisted that I should either be dipped or sheared
as I had two weeks growth of beard.
I received your measurements for the suit
which will be made up sometime in January or early
part of February, depending on how soon the Texas

It will interest you to know that we are

most successfully under our northwest fruit Industris

more important still is the fast that the consumer is
getting a more honest pack and more value for her

My dear Sir:-
Referring to your letter of October 2I last:-
I was tickled to see the Steel men had to scale down their
figures- $40.00 - $37.50 to lower still; they did not want their books
examined- indeed no.
Reading that the President has a collection of minature
volumes, I enclose a little Almanac which he might like to add ; it
has been in my family around 60 years. Will you kindly hand to him
with my best wishes for his health and happiness in the coming year.
And the same good wishes for yourself.
Yours very truly,
F.D. Chill.
