If you do not know what Channukah is it is the Feast of Dedication, which the Jewish peo- ple began to celebrate on Tuesday, December 12th. And if you do not know what a Mezzuzah is, here is what it is. It has Hebrew writing in it and on the outside it has the word "Shaddai", which means God. I you that you will be well and happy and that your wife will be well too, as always. And I hope that you will like the Mezzuzah and your wife will too. And I hope that you will have a good time in Washington. If you want to, you can hang the Mezzuzah on your watch-chain, or on your door. You can do anything you want to do with the Mezzuzah, only do not throw it out, because it has God's word on it. Best wishes to you all from, Your friend, Barech Baruch J. Davis. P.S.

Broke all records and succeeded in writing 2,871 letters on a single grain of rice, winning second prize, a Rockne Six Sedan, offered in the Na- tional "Believe It Or Not" contest. .ystone met with an accident on a railroad when he was 18 years old, breaking his hip, both pelvis bones, right arm and left ankle, and four fingers were amputated from his left hand. Doctors gave him only a few hours to live, but slightly more than a month later he walked from the hospital unassisted, and a year later, he was playing baseball with an arti- ficial hand of his own construction. A few years ago Blystone broke the existing record of 400 letters held by a Hindoo, by writing 1,200 letters on a rice grain. Soon thereafter he set another record of 1,615 01 a single grain, the record contained on page 34 of my new "Believe It Or Not Book. Now he has placed 2,871 letters by writing the word coin 707 times, his name and address and the year. The grain of rice, and the pen, and the magnifying glass with which it was made are on exhibition in the Believe It Or Not auditorium in New York City.

Honorable Franklin D.Rosevelt, Washington, D.C. Dear Mr.Rosevelt;- Noticing that your birthday and mine fall on the same day, thought I would write you a short letter. I was born on January 30th, 1877 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, one of a family of eight children: seven are still living and quite near me and are to- gether quite a lot. I did not vote for you but if you were up for election to-day I surely would. At the Fellowship class in the Central Congregational Church, Lynn, The Rev Garfield Morgan gave a very interesting talk about yourself, he said in part, you do not necessarily need to be a good Democrat to appreciate the wonderful work our president is doing or the tremendous strain he has been under since assuming office. I distributed calenders early in this month with a very fine picture of you on it, everybody was pleased with it and we have had many send in for one, I will try to send you one under seperate cover.

AVERILL JEAN DEMPSTER Manager 191 Huntington Ave., Apt. 1, Owner Boston, Mass., January 29th, 1934. Dear Beloved President; Along the Arctic tundra I first saw your name on the trail one day and I decided that we needed a New Deal. So I said to my lead dog, "Klondike," : "What do you say, Old Timer, that we go to the great outside (which, In Alaska, is the States), as we cannot vote up here and cast our ballot for this great American, Franklin D. Roosevelt." "Klony" looked up at me and said: "Woof, woof,' which, in Eskimo language of our four-footed friends means, "Yes." So we took the last boat from Nome and after a terrible ten day story trip, landed in Seattle. Then on to the hilly streets of "Frisco," where we took the Golden State Limited to St. Paul and landed right in the midst of the start of the overpowering Democratic landslide. And I helped to start the slide. The committee fell in love with "Klony;" glorified him with a Democratic blanket bearing the legend: 'Alaska Wants Roosevelt # And so did I and everybody else in this great country of the North -- and that's why I'm sending you a token of appreciation from we Alaskans -- a photograph of a great dog, for a great man and on a great day. You may be interested to know that this brave Alaskan husky is one of two malamutes ever to enter the crater of an active volcano. Klondike descended into the great Aniakchek, accompanied by Father Hubbard, the Glacier Priest. And the only ill effects of the venture -- a feat which scientists and geologists for hundreds of years have striven to attain, was a pair of blistered paws. And since then Klondike has helped to carry the mail between Nome and Point Barrow; has been "Master of Ceromonies" at the Byrd exhibit in Chicago, where we will return after swining around the eastern part of the country during the coming spring. And so, beloved President, Klondike and I salute you -- and in the language of the natives, we say, "Mush on, and many happy returns of the day. Faithfully, Jean : Dempater. JD; pa Jean Dempster.

It was a great pleasure for me to receive so immediate a reply. I was more than sorry that my children were not able to present these gifts to Mr. and Mrs Roosevelt, but maybe you can explain matters more clearly. I have enclosed two photographs to show the resident that I am 100% with him. I would like to know what he thinks of my work, which commutes with his ideas. One of the two photos will show how I make my N.R.A. novelties, in beautiful colors which I have made partly in my spare time. I am not able to sell this merchandise in Baltimore but perhaps I would be admitted to the Naval Academy if I had a signature from Washington. I am sure that I will have a chance here as I am sadly in need of the money. These photographs were taken for showing them to the President. After they have been seen I would appreciate it very much if you would take the trouble to returned them.

Throma 2 ngm Cleveland, Ohio. February, 8th, 1934. The Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, The White House, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: I am sending you herewith a portrait of yourself which I have done in oil. I am sending it to you as a token of sincere appreciation for the relief I received from my employment under the C.W.A. It expresses but a small measure of my profound gratitude. Although I have never had any instruc- tion in art, it is through painting that I can best express my- self. Under these circumstances, will you overlook its patent defects? I am thirty-nine years old and my family consists of my wife, five minor children and my mother-in-law. For three years I was unemployed; I was helpless to alleviate the suffering of my loved ones. It was not until you became our leader and in the greatness of your heart found room not only for the great of our nation but also for the lowly that help came to me. Then, because of your high ideals; your determination to help every man, no matter what his station in life, work came to me. I have been employed as a painter in one of our local schools. I am again a self-respecting person with hopes and ideals and with, what should be every man's right, the opportunity to earn an honest living for himself and his loved ones. I and my family are most grateful to you for what has, indeed, been a Godsend to us.

From your letter I assume you expected to find the picture enclosed in my letter. I trust there is some misunderstanding and hasten to advise you that the picture was mailed under separate cover. It required about a month's labor, was framed, under glass, and shipped in a wooden con- tainer approximately 18" X 24". Extreme care was taken in packing and shipping to avoid mistakes. My name and address are inscribed on the back of the picture. Having read of the tremendous amount of mail re- ceived daily and appreciative of your difficult task, I trust the picture is mislaid, not lost. May I have a reply to your convenience? Very truly yours, Thomas a.Dumont casket Ludlow, mass THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON January 9, 1934.
