His Excellency, The President of the United States,

His Excellency:
Under separate cover, I am forwarding
to you a gift, a needlework photograph of yourself,
which I completed recently. I trust you will be
able to add this to your large collection of
photographs.
This picture is the second I have
embroidered with the use of silk thread sent from
Italy - the other being a likeness of Colonel Lindbergh.
It might be of interest to you to
know that this is just a hobby with me. I have an
automobile repair shop and repair automobiles for my
livelihood. Attached to this letter is a clipping
from our local newspaper.

A likeness of President Franklin

pleted in needlework by Isaac A.
Isaac of the Modern Persian Art
studio, 341 Jefferson. After the
embroidered portrait is displayed
in a downtown shop window for
about a week, Isaac will send it
to the president.
On a linen background, the pres-
ident's features are portrayed with
the use of olive green, silver and
black silk embroidery thread im-
ported from Italy. The president's
piercing eyes and lines in his face
are accented with precision and
neatness.
A few years ago Isaac made and
presented a similarly designed pic-
ture to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.

Hon. Mr. President
and Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt,
White House Washington D. C.
My dear Mr. President and Mrs. Roosevelt:
It was sometime ago when I present a letter to your excellency
to be taken a pardon to inform your highness about a sweater which
that it have been delayed beyond the explanation. But at last. The
sacred purest white beautifully handknited sweater has just perfectly
completed so after a strict examination and cross investigation the
article made into a parcel for mail. It hoped the long long way to
Washington to reach without any mishap.
I am presenting this swaater because that I would like to express
my sincere respectfulness for you and wishing your successful carer in
time of naniti angled hard age. (History never has the same...)
Through the whole world from one corner to another there are so many
troubles, disturbances and unpeaceful uprisings in political, social,
economical, religious, military, naval, territorial and tradal, etc.
World demand a real powerful statesman with his candid sincere high-
mindedness brave yet patient virtue within to rescue to reform to
renew the wors condition of present world. For this purpose there is
only such great man in the world I believe in America in White House
with his enormous profound national standing and his personality. It
serves for his country first but by product the whole nations world
could be benefited. Your Excellency Mr. President. It is my earnest
sincere wishes your second term be more successful and be the bright-
est spot of United States History.
The 1936 Presidental election campaign is going on its white hot
climax then to goal day by day, week after week, 6 months about the
first Tuesday in Month of November. Ballot collected, & corrected,
counted. Then the Democrat raises party victorious flag. To a.ccom-
plish this heavy big job is certainly depending upon the both shoulders
of your Excellency Mr. President. Defeat the enemy party like you have
done in last world war against German U boats. Your health comes the
-2-
real base of all. I wish all your fellows countrymen realize about
it and induce you for a righteous, good rest, vacation for you, not
for a mere pleasure, fun, enjoyment only but through them preserva-
tion of physical energy and mental power for the perfect fitest con-
dition ever restored.
Your Excellency is famous for sporting, boating, fishing,
driving, camping, etc. with my kxi limited shallow knowledge I have
the greatest honor to present you this sport wear or purpose as
above. The sweater is made very carefully every mesh stick were
knited only by beautiful morning hours after sacred religious
manner that was the reason it took SO many month But I so sincerely
wish it will be accepted and wear on the earliest occucasion which
it pleases your Excellency as well as Mrs. Franklyn D. Roosevelt.
Your Excellency please let me kave your earliest accepted esteemed
letter. Your Honorable, I remain

Sir:
I am forwarding to you a photograph of a painting by
Jean Korn, a sixteen year old girl, a student at the Oak
Lane Country Day School.
It is her conception of the "New Deal", 1932 - 34.
This painting hung in the room where you dressed
before the conferring of the degree by Dr. Beury of
Temple University several weeks ago.
Jean, as representative of her class, is a realist
and has depicted the good and the bad. It is interesting
to note in this Republican community that the student
group is enthusiastic about you and the things you are
attempting to do.
My best wishes for your continued success.
Respectfully,

When they called at the Department, Miss Isobe and
Miss Kodama asked if it would be possible for them to
obtain a signed photograph of the President which might
be given a place of honor in the offices of the Society
in Tokyo. In the circumstances I believe that the President
might wish to accede to this request.

I know it is presumptious of me to request an
9-B
interview of the President of the United States,
especially in so trying a time as the pre-election
weeks. Would it be possible, however, after you
are re-elected to the Presidency of the United
States, for me to have an interview with you re-
garding the public educational plan of The American
Dietetic Research Foundation?
I am an Osteopathic Physician and Biochemist and
have been interested in public health through the
medium of proper nutrition. I have just returned
to America from England where I studied and did
research work at the University of Cambridge in
Cambridge, England, and I have taken my post as
Director of this organization. I am a friend of
Mr. Burns Weston, Director of the National Youth
Administration for the State of Ohio, and have
often talked to him about the introduction of
nutritional classes to preserve the health and
moral of the youth of America. I feel that you
might be interested in the plans that we have and
in the work that we have already done.
My first book, "The Forces in Foods, If will be
published in two weeks, and I would feel honored
if you will accept a copy.
If an interview is possible, I would appreciate

I deeply appreciate your letter of September 24th from

the President is interested in our public educational
plan, and that I may have an opportunity to speak with
him sometime after the election. I shall write you
regarding it after November 2nd.
We have approximately forty thousand active followers
in the New England States, especially in Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Within the next two
months I shall be lecturing before most of them, and
through our mail campaign, our Journal of The American
Dietetic Research Foundation, and other literature, I
shall be in communication with all of them. I am en-
closing a copy of a letter which I would like to send
to everyone of these forty thousand, together with a
copy of the letter which you so kindly sent to me.

that these people will be appreciative enough to take
some definite action on November 2nd. May I have your

To the Modern Health Seeker:
A few days ago I sent a letter to the President of
the United States. I asked for an interview with
him regarding the Public Educational Plan of The
American Dietetic Research Foundation. I further
told him that I was interested in discussing with
him the introduction of nutritional classes to pre-
serve the health and moral of the youth of America
through the National Youth Administration, or through
some other agency.
All of you know how long the pioneers in the health
food field have worked to better the nutritional
standards of the American diet. From orthodox sources
all of the common sense principles of nutrition have
been ridiculed and their importance minimized, and
oftenoften legal proceedings were brought against
many leaders for the truths that they were preaching
to their fellowmen. The orthodox group, together with
the misplaced hysteria of the rabid faddist, have in-
jured the chances for official recognition of our
cause.
At last, through the kindness of the President of the
ih-mw
United States, we may be able to present our cause
with effect. The problem of health is one with which
Franklin Delano Roosevelt is personally familiar. All
of us have heard and read of his valiant fight to bring
back the normal functions of his limbs. His courage,
like the courage of Theodore Roosevelt, is one which
should be an example to all Americans. I feel certain
that when the President becomes acquainted with our
principles, and when he learns of how many thousand
people in America will not use the devitalized and
demineralized standard products that are on the market
today, he will set up an investigating committee that
will be divorced from prejudice, commercialism and
old-fashioned type of medical hypocrisy.

My wishes to you for good health and long life.

I regret that there has been e. delay in answering
your communication, but the fact is, Secretary McIntyre, who

it impossible, because of the heavy pressure of official
business, to arrange a time when this lamo might be presented

say, however, that if you care to present the lamp to him,

thirtieth. An earlier date would be named but for the fact
the President plans to leave Washington shortly for a two week's

Dear Mr. Early:
As you undoubtedly know, the increasing use of better lighting
in this country is making tremendous strides in the fight against
defective eyesight, a fact generally attributed to the work of the
Society. We believe that the continuance of this activity in the
interest of the conservation of vision, on a nation-wide basis, will
not only be of the utmost economic value to the workers of this
country, but will likewise go a long way in assuring that our
children of today will be safely guarded against at least one ruthless
source of defective eyesight. Investigation shows that defective
vision exists in two cases out of every five students graduating
from colleges, as contrasted to one out of every ten children attend-
ing grade school.
Many investigations by school authorities throughout the country
have definitely proved that better scholastic accomplishments are
made by students in well lighted rooms than is the case in poorly
lighted rooms. On the other hand, damage to eyesight is being caused
more directly through poor lighting conditions in the home where the
children study.
Among the many outstanding accomplishments of the Illuminating
Engineering Society was the preparation of specifications for the
correct type of portable lamp under which to read and study. Any
manufacturer making lamps under these specifications may receive the
approval of this Society and the right to use its tag. This service
is a contribution to science on the part of the Society. The Society
has no commercial interest and receives nothing except the satisfaction
of accomplishment.
An evidence of the acceptance by the public is demonstrated in
the fact that 2,000,000 lamps have now been certified and close to
that number are in use. I am writing you with the hope that the
President will give his approval to this Conservation of Vision move-
ment by accepting from the Illuminating Engineering Society the
2,000,000th lamp made in accordance with the Society specifications.
Mr. Stephen T. Early
-2-
December 3, 1936
It is my understanding that certified I.E.S. lamps are already
in use throughout the Executive offices at Washington.
We feel that a photograph showing such a lamp in use by the
President on his office desk, or perhaps in his study, would serve as
a powerful influence in calling the attention of the public to the
importance of proper lighting. Therefore, if the President should find
it convenient to accept this gift from me on behalf of the Illuminating
Engineering Society, he would unquestionably be doing a fine thing in
the interest of the children of the nation. Such a picture would be
used only in connection with Society activities, and naturally, we
would govern ourselves by any restrictions you set forth.
We understand that the President will return to Washington some-
time around December 14. If at all possible, we should like to hold
this presentation sometime between that date and the end of the year.

I regret that there has been a delay in answering

The conception of the idea of the study and reading lamp which
is popularly known as the "I.E.S. Study and Reading Lamp" has been
a most outstanding accomplishment of the Society. It has been an
important factor in the conservation of vision, and this has resulted
in widespread use of these lamps in the homes of our nation. I know
full well that the President's, as well as Mrs. Roosevelt's interest
in the aims it promotes, would do much to stimulate its greater use,
health and welfare.
realizing as I do, President Roosevelt's aims to promote national

Dear Mr. McIntyre:
6ditor?
In respect to the conversation Mr. Daniel and 1 had with
you on last Monday concerning the presentation of an ice cream cake to
the President and to be received by Mr. James Roosevelt and yourself, we
are going forward with the preparation of this cake and would appreciate
your confirming certain details in regard to this presentation:
Would it be convenient for you to receive this cake at
3;00 P. M. on Friday, April 16th? Where do you wish the presentation
to be made?
This will be quite a large cake and the base of same will
be hollow, containing a number of cups filled with ice cream. You will re-
call it was our original intention to have these presented to orphans;
however, in view of the fact that this is impossible, would you sanction
the office force of the executive office coming out for a few minutes
recess and partaking of the contents of the ice cream cups? This would
make a feature which I believe would add very much to the presentation.
We appreciate the courtesies you are extending to the
industry in this connection and will look forward to hearing from you so
that we can make our plans accordingly.

Dear Sir:
A fellow-member of the Authors' League informed me that
President Roosevelt hasa collection of books on old New York,
which he keeps at Hyde Park. I thought that his visit here would
be a good occasion to ask if he possesses copies of the two fol-
lowing works, and, if not, whether I might have the honor of
giving them to him.

the Legislature in Relation Thereto, or Which Have Vested Addi-
tional Powers in the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty of the Said
City. Published Pursuant to an Order of Common Council, Made

Thos. Harard. 1808. On the first page of the text a reference
to George II has been crossed out in ink and the words written
in above: "I neither know, nor own a king!")

accept the two old books about New York. I am sending them
under separate cover, addressed to you, as you suggested,
and am much obliged to you for your kind offer to take care

My dear Mr President,
May I take this occasion to say that in spite of
the unremitting labors of our frequently disgusting press
there is nowhere the slightest slackening of faith in your
progressive national policies nor any diminution in trustful
affection for yourself. Confidence in you has become a deep
emotional conviction - and why not, since you, almost single-
handed, turned the tide of our economic history and channeled
it in the ways of progress.
As to Supreme Court reform, unquestionably the people
are for you. The general amusement and satisfaction over your
reported remark, "That's one up and five to go," showed very
clearly where their hearts are.
I do hope these two old books about New York will
please you, Sir. If so, I shall feel myself very fortunate
to have obtained them. I was thinking of your Mother and you
at Hyde Park that lovely week-end, and thought how happy she
must be to know that the whole nation is as glad of her son
as she is.
Sincerely yours,
