Dear Sir:
I am taking the liberty of forwarding
to you a copy of a modest book I have recently completed which
deals with a most interesting and little known phase of early
"Americana" - The American Fire Mark.
On several occasions I have seen
photographs of you with your stamp collection. This hobby
of yours has led me to believe that you might find another
field of "collecting 90 of some interest and has prompted me
to send you this little book with photos of the rare antiques
known as Fire Marks and an explanatory story of their origins
and use.
I sincerely hope the book may contribute
in some part to the enjoyment of any future evening you may
devote to the pursuit of your various hobbies.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Secretary:
When the last edition of "Procedure in the
House of Representatives" was issued, Everett Sanders,
whose decisions as Chairman of the Committee of the
Whole were cited in the book, gave a copy to President
Coolidge who volunteered the statement that he found it
helpful as it was the first resume of procedure in con-
nection with the delivery in person of the President's
address to Congress. Although that is now a matter of
entlo
routine, am enclosing a copy of the last edition just

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RAYMOND LESLIE BUELL HAILS "OUR MAGINOT LINE"
Raymond Leslie Buell, President of the Foreign Policy Association,
has sent the following letter to Carrick & Evans, publishers of "Our
Maginot Line" by Livingston Hartley, which is to be released on March 10:
"In my opinion, Mr. Hartley is the first writer really to think through
the problem of America's security in a world dominated by power-politics.
Eschewing all ideological and even economic considerations, he shows quite
clearly the inadequacies of unilateral rearmament and continental defense
on our part in case Germany and Japan succeed in their objectives in
Europe and Asia. The author grants that the danger to America is not
immediate, but he demonstrates that it will become real if events continue
their present course. This is a book which should be read by every American
anxious for the future of his country."
DONALD GORDON HANDS TRIPLE A TO "JUBAL TROOP"
Donald Gordon, in "The American News of Books" for March, gives
his highest rating, AAA, to Paul I. Wellman's novel of the American West,

Mr. President:
Owing to the widespread interest which has been
evidenced in regard to Columbia's coverage of
the European crisis during September, 1938, we
are publishing for a select group of our
listeners, a complete transcript in ten volumes
of our entire coverage of the crisis. This
material was taken down as it was received by
short-wave from Europe and is as accurate as
conditions permitted though occasional faulty
transmission conditions from Europe may have
caused some minor errors in transcription.
It gives me great pleasure to send you a
bound copy of these broadcasts as a permanent
record for your library.
I think that these volumes ably illustrate the
constructive force which radio has become in
our modern civilization, and portray simply
and directly the method used under our demo-
cratic system of broadcasting to bring the
outstanding world events to listeners in the
most remote corners of the world.
I hope that you will find them of genuine in-
terest and value.
Sincerely yours,

"Another volume like 'Vienna, March 1938'?

We hope it will interest you as a permanent rec-

colors. This wood was taken I'rom the Blue Ridge
mountains of Virginia, just a short distance from
the Skyline drive.
- This pipe was made entirely by hand, with the
use of such tools as a knife, piece of wire, and an
augor. Fill it up with tobacco and try it. The
longer you smoke the sweeter it will get.
Lots of luck to you.

Honorable Sir:
You will receive by parcel post a box of my playing
cards with which you can play the new game, "Dictators".
I sincerely hope you enjoy the new games and that
you may be able to play them on your cruise next week.
These cards really represent the "New Deal" in
playing cards.
Your campaign speeches of 1932-3 in which you stressed
a new deal stimulated me on the idea of a fifth suit. A
United States patent was obtained on the design November 1933.
To you, Mr. President, I would like to dedicate the
"Union Ace" which can take any dictator.
Inclosed are the new rules and a few sample cards.
Sincerely yours,

My Dear Mr. President:
Under separate cover we are mailing to you a copy of our Dedication
Book, at the request of the President of Chicago Typographical
Union and the Educational Committee of the New Union School of
Printing, situated in Chicago, Illinois.
Many complimentary letters have been received from various men of
letters and art, regarding this style of typographic art -- this
cover of Ben Franklin is done in Gold Leaf, not Printing.
We intend to make this School the finest and most up to date School
in these United States -- whereby every Union Printer can advance
XP.P.4
his knowledge regardless of whatever branch of the Graphic Arts,
9.6
he maybe interested in.
Mr. President, we would indeed, deem it a great honor, if you would
favor us with a reply to this letter -- giving us your candid
opinion of our first Book, which explains our aims and the goal
that we intend to reach.
To have a few words from the greatest President that was ever elected
from this great Country of hurs -- who has at all times, truly
represented all of the people all of the time -- would fill us with
renewed ambition to redouble our efforts -- for remember Mr. President
in 1940, we the people of these United States "will be willingly
waiting for your small-minded enemies, " as we did in 1932 and 1936.
Lincoln may have freed the Slaves -- but you Mr. President have freed
the working man of "Brother can you spare a dime" and gave us light
and hope to renew our faith in our great Country.
With kindest wishes for you and your family always. Yes Mr. President
we'll be waiting at "Queen Street for the Enemy in 1940".
Very sincerely yours,
H. J. Hilland, Vice-President
