Roosevelt\nHyde Park, New York\nMr. President:-\nRecently I conceived an idea of making a \"fish\nholder\", a tool with which to grab fish when they are\ntaken from the line. This tool holds the fish\nfirmly while the hook is being removed and you can\nhandle the fish without soiling your hands.\nSometime ago I made one of these tools for Mr. Lon\nDu Bois, whom I believe is president of the local\nSports Club. Later I met him and asked him how\nit worked, he was very enthusiast about it, said he\nnever had anything like it to handle fish. I suggested\nsending you a fish holder and he heartily agreed that\nyou would appreciate it inasmuch as you are an ardent\nfisherman.\nI am sending you by separate cover a small and a large\nfish holder which I trust you will initiate on your\nnext fishing trip.\nVery truly yours,\nJ.M.fiori\nAddress\nMr. John M.

They would like to call on the President\nand present to him the original bronze maquette of the monument at Verdun. Ambassador\nBullitt says that both Mr. Conan and the Secretary General of the organization are blind.\nAsks to be notified where the President expects to be about the 6th or 7th of September.\nIn his reply of Aug. 7th, Gen. Watson advised that the President expects to alternate\nbetween Hyde Park and Washington \"and if Mr. Conan will get in touch with me on his\narrival, we will arrange a suitable time for him to see the President.\" - On Aug. 22nd,\nAmbassador Bullitt wrote to Gen. Watson thanking for his letter of Aug. 7th and ex-\nplaining that he has already notified Mr. Conan to communicate with the General through\nthe French Embassy in Washington when he arrives. - Attached is a photograph of the\nmonument at Verdun.\nSee P.P.F. 179\nact\nP.P.7.\n9-7\nnashungton D.C\nviauklei acecano corrence, known\nJames M.

He left his line in the company and, running\nback, pulled down the stars and bars of the revels and put up the stars\nand stripes and started back to join his company, when he was shot in his\nleg by a sniper in a tree. The bullet struck him just below the knee\nand, of course, there was no anesthetic in these times and his leg was\nsawed off with a carpenter's saw. His leg had to be cut off again.\nCaptain Truell belonged to 3 Company E, 12th Wisconsin regiment.\nMy only child is Mrs. Louis S.
