Dear Mr. Roosevelt:
If one man can love another, then my love
for you must be genuine, for I feel that way about you, I admire
you very much and to show it in a small way, I wish to present
to you 8 token, in person, This token is a copy of the Blue
Eagle, flanked by our flag and shield and named "Guardian"
This work is done in Indian arrows, on.a
nice framed wall board approximately three and half by two feet,
nicely painted and is highly prized by me. People from all parts
of the country have come here to see my work and all of them pick
the NRA as one of my best.
I tell everyone that sees it that it is the
only eagle that has never been 'killed' and I do not fear the
Supreme Court. It is made of material hewn out by the first
people of our country and they made a living with it SO why can't
we.
I am agent for the Seaboard Air Line here
and have spent my spare time in the last fifteen years collecting
Indian lore along the banks of the Catawba. I have one of the best
collections in the state and am the only person that mounts my
artifacts in the manner used. Some of my work is now being shown
in the Library of a nearby city.
Will you make it possible for me to realize
one of my ambitions, that is, meet and shake your hand and present
you the only piece of work of its kind.
I would like to drive the 250 miles to Warm
Springs, arrive early Sunday morning March 20th. leave immediately
and be back for my work Monday morning.
Will you grant me this privilege and honor,
if so, what hour?
All power and success to you in your fight
for a Supreme Court to represent the people.
Devotedly yours, one of the common people,
G C.E.Gattin.

Miss Margaret Lehand,
Secretary to His Excellency
President Roosevelt,
Warm Springs, Ga.
Dear Miss Lehand;-
Please pardon our apparent imprudence in addressing
these writings to you, but because of the fact of its importance in
moments of chaos and which seem apparent by the attitude taken by Labor,
and your unquestionable understanding of the contents and circumstan-
ces, we have decided that the best course to pursue, so that Our Presi-
dent would personally become in possession of the enclosed booklet, was
to address it to you.
We have previously endeavored to deliver one to him
at Washington, and after two or three days stay for that purpose and
with the same hope, we were unable to accomplish it and was told to
mail him a copy.
Although we have received an acknowledgment from the
Labor department, the intention was that of secrecy in its delivery to
Our President, and than leave it with his own direction.
It is needless to mention that the contents of the enclosed
booklet, no matter how important, is too much to present to him for rea-
ding and perusal, especially while he is on his vacation, and under these
views we do know that you may kindly be the one to go over it, criticize
its principles and use yourown discretion, because we know faithfully
that it will be useful in your care.

Dear Sir;
The only criticism I have for the President's judicial policy is
that it is not drastic enough and does not strike at the root of the evil.
This can only be done by a fearless Constitutional Amendment. But as an
emergency measure, to enable the President within the next three years to
carry out the mandate voted him by the people last November, I heartily
endorse his plan and trust that Congress will get behind the President and
back him up in his courageous fight for the uplift of the "under privileged".
But I do not endorse the measure which allows the judges (at their option)
to retire on full pay, unless this privilege is granted to every citizen in
the United States. Many of them would need this provision far mote than the
judges who have been years 'on high salaries. A worker finds it hard to se-
cure a job after forty no matter what family obligations he has to meet.
Such favoritism to judges is a farce on our sense of JUSTICE.
If there must be a "dictator" (?) in this Democracy let us have one that is
elected by the people and who can be deposed by the people, rather than
"nine old men" whom the people have had no voice in choosing and with no
power to remove. It is high time that the people awake from their hypnotic
sleep and cast off their real "dictator" by constitutional amendment that
will strip the courts of their assumed power to dictate to the will of the
people. The opposition prates about "packing" the courts when they know
that they are already "packed" against the well-fare of LABOR, WOMAN, and
CHILDREN as every court decission proves. They really mean that they do not
want the "packing" changed. It is the nature of "appointed courts" to be
packed and if the packing is left unchanged it often becomes SO rotten that
it "smells to high heaven" as in the present case.
How prepostrious it is for a DEMOCRACY (?) to arrange to have a few men
men selected without the consent of the people, dress them up in black
robes and ermine, place them in a vast marble nich and say to the people:
"The words of these men are infalable and they can interpret the CONSTITU-
TION better than any other citizen of the UNITED STATES". We all know that
they are human "all too human" and their exalted isolation unfits them to
interprit a living CONSTITUTION for our nation even more than a common
citizen who has "caught the vision" of unselfish service. These judges do
not pretend to go to the CONSTITUTION for their authority but they "mess
around" in the maze of past decissions and while doing SO spin another web
to better hold this "fluttering Democracy".
There is proof in historical files that the Supreme Court was the "joker" or
"monkey wrench" which the adverse forces threw into the machinery of the
New Republic in the hope of wrecking it in the future and this has been near-
accomplished several times. (The Dred Scott Decission for instance.) If the
"web "continues to grow and strengthen the job of destruction will finally be
accomplished. But the people are beginning to "rub their eyes."
Most sincerely,
M.Alice Gordon.

My dear Mr. President:
2/2
I am sending under separate cover the volume just from
the press, published by the State of North Carolina, containing
my papers and letters while Governor of North Carolina.
I know you have the time to give but scant attention to
the contents of this book, but as it deals contemporaneously
with your four years in the Governor's office I know you will be
interested in this period.
I respectfully request that you turn to page 622 and
read the letter addressed to you on July 22, 1932 in which I
undertake to deal with the issues of the campaign and make
reference to the fact that we are in the day of a new deal and
that many of our preconceived ideas and formulas are going to
be thrown into discard as we try to solve and give outlet to
the pent-up emotions of mankind everywhere. I was rather
pleased when I read this sentence in my letter to you: "The
campfires of the past are being abandoned and the frontiers of
thinking have extended beyond the limits heretofore held sacred
by the conservative minds of this country".
I would also like for you to read on page 469 the
paragraph dealing with the Pharisees.
If you have time I would appreciate your perusal of the
interpretation of my administration and its philosophy by
Allen Jay Maxwell.
I am going to speak Thursday, March 26, before the
South Carolina Bar Association in Columbia and have selected as
my subject "Trends in the Reorganization of State Government".
In this speech I am going to enlarge upon the basic reason
underlying the determination of the American people to find a
way to break through the fetters of constitutional limitation
upon the products of agriculture, mines and manufacture.
In 1930, as Governor of North Carolina, I called a
conference of the Governors of the Southeastern States to meet
with me in Asheville for the purpose of discussing uniform
regional legislation for this area. My object was to see if
Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt - 2
March 19, 1937
we could not come to some agreement dealing with hours of labor,
and with the work of women and children involving maximum hours
and minimum wages. Everyone present agreed that this was most
desirable as the laws of each state on these subjects were
diverse, competitive and highly conflicting. At that time and
at the present time the State of Georgia had no statute
limiting the hours of labor in industry. Alabama in its bid
for new industry offered cheap labor and a sixty-six hour week,
South Carolina had a fifty-five hour week, and North Carolina a
fifty-five hour week. There was no uniformity anywhere.
My conference in Asheville, with all of its firm
resolves, completely collapsed when the Governors returned to
their states and came in conflict with the selfish interests
who would yield nothing to uniformity or regional welfare. I
made up my mind at that time that we would never be able to
secure imperative reforms until we equipped the national
government with the initiative and the authority to police our
poverty and subordinate our selfish instincts.
I had no idea of lapsing into this philosophy and I
beg your pardon for the transgression.
With every good wish, believe me

Dear Mr. President:
It is with a great deal of pleasure that
I send you this portrate of, Moses, Christ and
yourself.
I have put you in the same category with
Moses and Christ because both of these characters
were not only the greatest men of their ages, but
they were also saviors and benefactors of their
people.
Previous to 1932, these two great men were
the only ones of their kind. However, the overwhelm-
ing vote by which you were reelected to the highest
post in the land, and the great things that you have
already accomplished for us gave me the thought that
the American people now in the twentieth century
have recognized the fact that they are now being guid-
ed by a hand as mighty and honest as the hand of
either Moses or Christ; namley the modern Messiah--
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
For centuries the great names of Moses and
Christ have lived on, and I am positive that after
your span of a long life of 120 years the world will
for centuries to come associate not the two great
names of Moses and Christ, but rather the three
greater names of Moses, Christ and Roosevelt.
Yours very truly,

Dear President Roosevelt:
With this I send you a copy of a work I feel you will find
a source of interest and value. It is John E. Dalton's recent
case history and study of Government control in industry titled
"Sugar", just published. Dalton, you will recall was head of the
Sugar Section of the Dept. of Agriculture, recently resigned to
head up the Statistical and Research Division of the United States
Cane Sugar Refiners Association of which Ellsworth Bunker is the
Chairman. The basic material was written and compiled while Dalton
was on the faculty of the Harvard School of Business and with the
Department of Agriculture and not as propaganda for the Refiners.
Inasmuch as I too, as you know, represent the Refiner's posi-
tion professionally my recommendation might not appear to be too
unbiased or objective therefore I take extreme pleasure in quoting
a recent unsolicited letter from Charles A. Beard: "Thanks for
Dalton's book. I read every line of it at once, with genuine plea-
sure, and added several inches to my mental stature. You may quote
me as saying: 'Mr. Dalton's book is a real contribution to our know-
ledge of contemporary economy and is, in my opinion, worth a ton of
books on economic theory and political philosophy. 11

My dear Colonel:
I explained to Mr. Kannee on the telephone that one of
my old friends and a great admirer of the President had sent us
by prepaid express a bushel of beautiful Baldwin County, Alabama
potatoes, to be delivered to the White House. I suggested to Mr.
Kannee that the President write a letter, or if that is not
possible, that you write a letter, thanking our friend for this
little present, at the same time mentioning the two presents which
were sent up to the President from Mobile over a year ago, which
I don't believe were ever acknowledged.
Mr. Kannee suggested that I advise you the kind of
letter I would like to have written. This of course I am glad
to do. I would like to have something along the following lines.

Dear Mr. Grove:
"Our mutual friend, Congressman "rank Boykin, has just
delivered the bushel of beautiful Baldwin County, Alabama po-
tatoes to the White House, and I want you and your friend Mr.
W. T. Myrick, who I understand raised these potatoes, to know
how very much we appreciate not only the gift, but the thought
which prompted their being sent.
"Last year Congressman Boykin delivered us a 14-point
white-tailed Alabama buck which Governor Bibb Graves killed
on the Boykin game preserve on the Tombigbee Riber at McIntosh,
Alabama. At the same time he also sent us a beautiful wild
turkey gobbler, with a ten-inch beard, which he had himself
killed at the same place and on the same day that Governor
Graves killed the buck. So you see I already know of some of
the wonderful things which you grow in your great State.

"I had suggested that we might stop over on our recent
visit and fishing trip in Texas for a day at Mobile, to try out
luck at fishing, but we were advised by Congressman Boykin that
this was not the proper season for good fishing there. I am
still looking forward to being in Alabama at some future time.
Cordially yours,
Franklin D. Roosevelt -- or
Marvin H. McIntyre"
I would appreciate your sending me a copy of whatever you
write to Mr. Grove, as I want to send copies to Governor Graves
and several of the other fine gentlemen who were with us on this
hunting trip at the time the Governor killed the big buck. On the
two-day hunt at our game preserve at McIntosh we killed 22 deer
and 19 turkeys. This is the spot I have always begged you t 0/ ame
