My dear Mr. Bresident: It has been a long time since Inhave troubled you, but I had to send you a ham, like I did October 3at., 1933, so you can celebrate your re-election on the 4th. Now if you remember, I predicted when you spke in Atlanta in 1938, for Al Smith, that you would be the next nominee, and would be elected by the big gest majority any President ever received. There in no doubt in my mind that you will be re-elected by a larger majority even that you received before, and will carry 40 States. A President who has saved this country from a revolution, saved the banks, railroads, insurance companies, kept people from starving, kept their homes from being confiscated, cannot be beat. When you come to your Georgia home, I've got a bunch of Quail waiting for you. Hoping you will re-elected by a very large majority, and that I will have the pleasure of seeing you at Warm STRINGS, and that you will enjoy this small sweet ham that I am sending, on November the 4th., I am, OCG/cac.

C. and 11/17/36 Dear Sir: About two weeks ago, I had occasion to discuss with your cousin, Mr. Labusohr, the enclosed composite picture of our president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and in accordance with his suggestion, I am forwarding the same to you and trust you will be good enough to present the same to our president, with the sincere best wishes of the writer. In my opinion, the composite picture is both unique, odd and a self-serving declaration of our president's ability and character, both as a man and chief executive of our country. By this time the people of our nation have voiced their confidence in Franklin Delano Roosevelt, by their overwhelming vote in his favor, indicating their confidence and trust, based upon his past performances. I trust that the enclosed sketch meets with your personal approval and incidently, I desire that you bear in mind that this sketch was not created nor intended in any sense of flattery or for publicity purposes, but on the contrary, represents the conscienti- ous reflections of the writer, who is a co-originator of the same. In closing, kindly accept my deep apprec- iation for your cooperation in placing this picture in our president's hands or calling the same to his atten- tion and with kindest regards both from myself and Mr. Labusohr, permit me to remain, Very truly yours, Rash along HMB:BDC RALPH A.

Dear Mr. President:- The girls of our special sewing group have requested that I act as their spokesman in extending greetings and good wishes for a most successful administration during the coming four years. Under separate cover I am sending a picture of the girls. They are, from left to right:- Lillian Donner, Olga Klasanovich, Florence Mayte, Helen Currie, Kathryn Butke, Opal Mace, Margaret Smith, Helen Sherbarth, Thelma Black and Marie Turner. Every one of the young women are victims of infantile paralysis, most of them fearfully handicapped. But that handi- cap has not dimmed their smile nor sapped their courage. They ask only the opportunity to work. We are happy to be able to provide, in an humble way, such an opportunity. Here, in a comfortable and pleasant workroom, the girls make a variety of new products, the sale of which help to provide the revenue with which we carry on. Please accept from the girls, a tie for yourself and a luncheon set for Mrs. Roosevelt. Each one of the girls had a part in the making of them. Permit me to take this opportunity of extending sincere congratulations, in which mother joins, upon your glorious vic- tory. Mother has been especially interested in your achieve- ments. She was born in Poughkeepsie and often recalls the ex- periences of years ago when, as a young girl, in the company of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Taylor and their two sons, Robert and Douglas, the latter for whom I am named, she often met your parents. With every good wish, believe me, Cordially yours, FDR/FM üperintendent November 19, 1936 P.P.7 Bully q-G My dear Mr. Gallerani: This will acknowledge the receipt of your letter of November twelfth.

Nov. 12,1936. The President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. President: I believe that the year 1937 will bring back the NRA again, as soon as you go into office for President a second term. I have designed a new NRA poster and instead of having a blue eagle I have made it a gold one in your honor, to be President for a second term. In your first four years as Bresident your NRA poster read "We Do Our Part", and your next four years it will read "We Did Our Part and We'll Do It Again". Uncle Sam represents the nation forging ahead inspiring the people with good faith.. I believe that is all I have to say as the poster is self explanatory in every detail and I hope that you will like it ,and will consider myself very fortunate if you choose to use it. May I thank you in advance whether you use it or not. Hope to hear from you real soon and sincerely hope to have the letter signed by you Mr. President to keep for a memory.
