Dear Mr. President:-

I have asked my publishers, Viking Press, Inc. to
the it is unfair to burden you with asking to read I
you let have any, you will be able to turn the and
book but I do hope that in your spare moments, you if
me hear from you in reference to the contents pages of
This book is partially based on the unpublished collection it.
of Herndon material of which the late Senator Theodore D.
Robinson and spoke to you a few months before he passed away,
as I was informed, you told him you were in favor of
publishing the entire collection because nothing therein
contained could injurethe name and fame of Abraham Lincoln.
May I at this time congratulate you on your fine talk
at the Jackson dinner and particularly for a paragraph con-
tained in it about Abraham Lincoln and what he would have
done with Reconstruction had he lived? Your opinion seems
to be the only one which backs up and confirms my opinion
that he would have solved the problems of Reconstruction as
he did those of the Civil War which were by far the greater.
Practically every historian or biographer of any account
holds to the other view that he would have failed as Johnson
had failed. The last chapter of the first volume of my book
"Abraham Lincoln, A New Portrait" demonstrates the fallacy
of that position.
Cordially and sincerely yours,

Writer begs leave to submit the enclosed "prized work" as a token of his
compliments to the Chief Executive of the United States:
The Book
of the New Light
from the Press of Abraham Yehuda Leib
Zolkiew, 1803
This work, known in Hebrew literature as the Zohar (Light), is regarded
as the most important of all cabalistic works. It was first introduced in
Spain in the 13th century, by the cabalistic writer Moses de Leon, who
attributed it to Rabbi Simeon ben Yohai, a 2d century Jewish teacher.
Under the form of a commentary on the Pentatauch, it contains a "complete
cabalistic theosophy, treating of God, the cosmogony and cosmology of the
universe, the soul, sin, redemption, etc."
It is in the Aramaic language.

One chapter tells of his visit with the President when he was Governor of New York, end is
entitled "Franklin Delano Roosevelt". He asked for a brief interview with the President,
and seid he has just heen given a contract by Rend McNally to write three new books.
-- At request of Miss Le Hand, Lieut. Col. Hutchinson's letter was returned to Mrs. Eben
to be placed with the book. -- Mr. McIntyre wrote to Mr. Hutchinson, March 3, re arranging
a brief appointment for him, and in response to Mr. Hutchinson's wire of March 4, Mr.
McIntyre wired to him on March 5 re arranging appointment of March 8, 1938. ----- Mr.
Hutchinson wrote to the President, March 12 expressing gratitude for great happiness given
him and his family. He stated that when Mr, Thomas J. Watson gave him his support, he
knew that the plan (?) was a worthy one, end he expressed appreciation for the President's
approval of it. Described the purpose of the "Scroll of All Nations" - said it is to serve
as a universal document of educational understanding. Expressed hope that when Grover
Whalen speaks to the President about the "Scroll" in relation to the New York World's
Fair, he will also tell him about Hyde Park and the scroll the Odd Fellows originated
there and the resultent goodwill toward Hyde Park and the Lodge. Said that a number of
states have already agreed to make the "Scroll of All Nations" a frontispiece in the ele-

Dear Sir:
GIU
Attached hereto is a book from the pages
genen to Pres
of which - if you will read it carefully and with an un-
biased viewpoint - you will glean some interesting facts;
facts which may be helpful to you in the carrying out of
your plan "The Greatest Good for the Greatest Number."
"The Right To Live" was written by Mr.
Joseph A. Culbert, a Philadelphia attorney, who, unfor-
tunately, passed on just before the book went to press.
It was not intended to be a masterpiece of literary genius,
as its contents will prove - rather an appeal to those in
authority to see to it that "the right to live" becomes a
reality instead of just 8. topic of conversation. I might
also add that Mr. Culbert was, in no sense of the word, just
a "crackpot" - as some are wont to think when a man of
generous spirit expresses himself in such broad terms.
I recall reading in Mr. Ludwig's story of
your life and also in an article in the Ladies Home Journal
that you are a man who gives ear to everyone who comes to
you in honesty of purpose. I am doing just this. The
plan as proposed by Mr. Culbert seems to me to be 80 cl ear
cut, logical and to smack of such sound judgment that I am
at a loss to know just why it cannot be put into operation.
Outside of doing away with political patronage and a few
other minor details - minor as compared with human happi-
ness - in what lies the "catch?"
A continuation of the present unemploy-
ment problem combined with the lack of opportunity for
those rightfully employed to make more than just a bare
living will eventually lead - and sooner than we anticipate,
I'm afraid - to internal strife. Therefore, if a plan such
as Mr. Culbert suggests can be put into successful operation,
thus avoiding such strife, what, in Heaven 8 name, is to
prevent such action being taken?
April 1, 1938.

Dear Mr.Roosevelt:
Am enclosing under separate
covern a walking cano that I made for you and a ceder spoon for
Mrs.Roosevelt.
I am an old man and have been in the C.C.C's for nearly 5 yrs as
a wood worker and a blacksmith.I would have seen starvation had
it not been for you and your administration.
I can do almost any kind of wood work and can make antique furniture.
This walking cane and spoon is made of ceder that grew in Hopkins
county, one of the banner democratic counties in Western,Ky
I am too old to apply for a position on public works and sure would
like to have a shop in Washington so I could make antique wood
structures for my democratic friends.
Anything that you and Mrs.Roosevelt wan't me to make cammand me
and I will make it if I have the material.
I there is such a position as a wood carver in Washington I would appreciate
having that place.I have a daughter 14 yrs old that I would like to
educate.
You have sure been a friend to the poor laboring people but you sure
have been fought by the money power.
