mr. President:
Because of your interest in stamps, l am send-
ing you this picture of the Great Seal of the
United States, which is made up of canceled
United States stamps. l made it in my spare time.
l have made quite a few pictures with stamps.
Each one that I make, l try to do better than the
previous ones, l have made three that are worth
mentioning. The first one was of a soldier; just
his head, and part of his shoulders, The second
one was the american Flag. and the third one,
was the Great Seal.
The Great Seal is the emblem of the United
States. It is found wherever it is most appropriate.
The soldiers wear it on their caps; their buttons
all show it. It is the sign of the greatest nation
in the world.

If a person examines closely a detailed drawing,
he is aware of the fact that it is based upon the
thirteen original states of this great Union, The
eagle grasps thirteen arrows in his left talon,
In his right, he holds an olive branch with
thirteen leaves, and thirteen berries, The crest
in the center has thirteen alternate stripes of red
and white, above the eagle is a wreath around
a bed of blue, on which thirteen stars are In
the eagle's beak is the inscription known to all,
"E Pluribus Unum," one out of many-
Quite a few great men are represented in my
mosaic of stamps, The top of the crest, and the field
us
in the wreath above the eagle's head are made of
five-cent stamps which bear the likeness of the
Rough Rider," Theodore Roosevelt. The red stripes
in the crest, and the berries on the olive branch,
are made from the two-cens Washington stamps.
The eagles wings, tail, legs, and talons are made
from one and one-half cent stamps, on which the
portrait of Warren Harding is shown. a few one-half
cent stamps which have nathan Hale on their
face, are used for shading to show the back of
the scroll which the eagle holds in his beak.
Benjamin Franklin holds a place of honor;

the stamp which bears his likeness is the one cent.
The one-cent stamps are used for the olive branch,
which signifies peace; the one thing that he and
all of us love, where l could, I used stamps; but,
as you can plainly see, some white paper was
used.
l am very sorry that this emblem is not
mounted on something more appropriate, But,
l think that you could do a much better
job of mounting, because of your better judgment.
well, Sir, I hope l haven't used up too
much of your valuable time by writing about
the Great Seal. But, d think of it as being much

Mr. President:
Under separate cover we are sending you an advance copy of the new
book by Archibald MacLeish, THE AMERICAN CAUSE. It is a brief book of
three parts: a Foreword by the author which reviews his stand on vital
problems; "The American Mobilization" which discusses the resources,
moral as well as material, of the United States; and "The American Cause"
which we regard as one of the most remarkable and eloquent statements
ever to come from the pen of an American. In this new book, Mr. MacLeish
has crystallized the issues of the day and at the same time has pointed
the way of the future.
THE AMERICAN CAUSE will be published on February 21st. At 5:30 P.M.
(EST) on the following day, Washington's Birthday, Mr. MacLeish will read
"The American Cause" over the radio; he will be heard from coast to coast

The President has been glad to inscribe
the three photographs which accompanied your letter.
In transmitting them to Mr. Dolge, will you not be
good enough to convey to him and Mr. Paul Adams an
expression of the President's very real apprecia-
tion of their kind thought in the presentation of
a. copy of the beautifully bound Memorial edition.

My dear Miss LeHand:
I am enclosing for the President a letter dated
February 25, 1941 from Mr. Rudolf Dolge, a prominent
resident of Caracas, Venezuela, transmitting X a beauti-

fully bound exact photoprint reproduction of the 1824
Caracas edition of Historia de la Conquista y Población
de la Provincia de Venezuela, by Don Jose de Oviedo y
Banos.

Since Mr. Dolge and Mr. Paul Adams, who is men-
tioned in the letter, are the outstanding leaders of
the American colony in Venezuela, I am happy to trans-
mit this historical reproduction which I know the
President will wish to keep in his library.
I am also enclosing three photographs which
Mr. Dolge has left with me in the hope that the President

will kindly condescend to autograph them. In view of
the outstanding prominence of these two distinguished
representatives of American thought and activity in
Venezuela, I heartily recommend that if agreeable to
the President he autograph the photographs and return
them to me for transmission. I make this suggestion
because I personally know of their eminent leadership
and feel that they are entirely worthy of the honor
which the President would confer upon them by auto-
graphing the photographs. With reference to the request
for an autograph on the small photograph for a Vene-
zuelan admirer, I make no recommendation whatsoever and
leave it entirely up to you. Accordingly, I am sub-
mitting this to you for the consideration of the
President.
Sincerely yours,
Chief of Protocol

Washington, D. C. February 25th, 1941.
Dear Mr. President:
It is a curious fact, not generally known, except to historians,
that although Venezuela was the first mainland of the Western Hemis-
phere to be discovered, nevertheless the Spanish crown did not permit
the introduction of the art of printing in Venezuela, until the
beginning of the nineteenth century. Even so, the earliest imprints
were limited to the newspapers and pamphlets issued during the
struggle for Independence, and not until the second decade of the 19th
century was the printing and publication of books actually undertaken
for the first time in Venezuela.
It seems all the more notable under the circumstances that some
of these earliest Venezuelan Incunabilae are such remarkably fine
specimens of the printer's art. Outstanding among them all is the
famous "Historia de la Conquista y Población de la Provincia de
Venezuela," by Don José de Oviedo y Baños, printed by Domingo Navas
Spínola at Caracas in 1824, as a reprint of the First or Madrid edi-
tion of 1723. Unfortunately very few of the original copies of this
Caracas edition have been preserved, so that it is practically unknown
to bibliographers outside of Venezuela.
It is this fact that led Mr. Paul Adams to induce some of the
members of the American Colony in Venezuela, in which he occupies a
prominent place, to reproduce this Second edition as an homage to
Venezuela and a Memorial to our fellow-countryman, the late Mr.
William Tecumseh Sherman Doyle, at one time chief of the Latin
American Division of the State Department, later and for many years
head of the Caribbean Petroleum Company and greatly beloved by
Americans as well as Venezuelans.
This Memorial edition is an exact photo-print reproduction of the
1824 Caracas edition, to which however there has been added an intro-
duction, giving a brief history of the four other editions heretofore
published, as well as biographical data regarding Oviedo y Baños, with
illustrations of the famous chapel of the Caracas cathedral in which
his remains are interred. There is also a comprehensive plan of
Venezuela showing the exploration routes of the various Conquistadores
mentioned in the work, together with a full index.
On behalf of Mr. Paul Adams and the American Colony in Venezuela,
it gives me great pleasure to hand you herewith a copy of this
Memorial edition, which I hope you will find of real interest not only
as a bibliographic specimen and for the historical information which
it contains, but also the brilliant style in which it is written.
Very respectfully yours,

Dear Mr. President:
The writer, a newcomer to the
United States and a former teacher of
languages in Switzerland, has just
compiled and published a new edition
of the First Book for Spanish. This
book was published and printed in the
United States of America.
It gives me great pleasure to
forward to you, Mr. President, a copy
of this book. I sincerely dare to hope
that you will find time to peruse its
contents and to tell me what you think
of my efforts to encourage the citizens
of this great Republic to study the
Spanish language. It is an important
matter, more so at this time than ever
before in the history of this country.
The knowledge of foreign languages, es-
pecially Spanish, : will help to bring
about a better understanding between the
nations of the western hemisphere. It
will cement the ties of real friendship
among the peoples of North, Central and
South America.
Deven'r
In this spirit, I ask you,
Mr. President, to accept my modest
contribution toward a cause which
I know has been so dear to your
heart for so many years,
Permit me, Mr. President, to
express my personal best wishes for
your continued good health and for

welfare of this great nation.

Dear Mr. President:
Having listened to all of your radio
talks for the past eight and one-half years and heard your
prayer for Divine guidance I am taking the liberty of mail-
ing you under separate cover, two books which give a word-
picture pre-view of present Church and world history, and
which, in the light of events which have taken place since
the beginning of the World War in ninteen-fourteen seem to
bear out the theory of Dr. John W. Tyndall, the author, that
the Book of Revelation reweals this era in history and holds
the key to the future.
At any rate, the promise "Blessed is he
that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy
and keep those things which are written therein" is a promise
on which we can stand as are all of Godss promises.
Perhaps I should tell you that Dr. Tyn-
dall was a decendent of the martyred William Tyndall, a stu-
dent and teacher of Bible and history who spent twenty
years of his life in research, study and writing this work.
I know if you will read them you will find them fasinating
and, I hope helpful in the trying years you are facing.
Sincerely,
EHdle. Dowempret.
