Dear Mr. President: Please pardon this presumption in sending you this picture. It is a very common one, just a magazine cover framed by a novice, one of your constituency, in an humble way trying to do his part in restoring times to a normal state. This picture at a glance has a very insignificant meaning. How- ever, when all this picture stands for is brought out it is signif- icant of all we need at the present time. It was said some two thousand years ago, 'How can anything good come out of Na nreth?' The same question can be asked by forty seven states and all the territories, "How can anything good come out of Louisiana?" I answer, this question in this way: all of Na: reth was not bad. will of Louisiana bad and if you can- not find space on your walls for this picture send it to the manger or to the garage. 'For verily I say, by their fruits ye shall know them'. Will say for myself I am 66 years of age, white, a Democrat, a Mason a Methodist, a hard worker, hard hit by the depression. Am hitting on all six, fighting for restoration of times to a normal state. Most respectfully yours, William.

Mr. LaFontzee is the maker of a type of water wing, and he desires that same may be available for the enjoyment of the President. In this I might add his sincerity is unquestionable, proof of which is evidenced in his communication to this office in which he desires that no publicity be made relative to his gift. He simply is a very great admirer of our President, and if he may serve in this way to add to his enjoy- ment of life, he is content. This office hesitated, at first, to comply with his request, but he was so sincere and so insistent, we are handling the mailing for him. He was under the impression that if the mailing were made by him direct that same would not come to the attention of the President. If the device does contribute to the enjoyment of our Chief, we are glad to have acted as agents to that end. However, we are submitting the gift to you for transmission to the President.

Y. 9-20 Line August 24, 1933 Dear Governor: Emile Long has been doing Cardinal Hayes's watch and clock work for many years and His Eminence was interested in a remarkable clock Mr Long had in his shop. He asked me to look at the clock, keeping in mind that perhaps it would please you. Mr Long and his sons wish to pre- sent you with this clock, a picture of which is enclosed herewith. X The clock is over 100 years old and, as you will notice, King Neptune sur- mounts the time piece. The ship that you will see in the picture actually rolls as if at sea. The clock itself is solid bronze. Mr Long would like very much to present this clock to you either at Hyde Park or wherever you designate. Of course, the old gentleman would be most happy if he could make the presentation personally, and I told him I would ask you to let him do so. I know you are pestered to death with such things, but since the Cardinal thought the clock was a thing of beauty and since I believe it represents something you have a real interest in, I am taking the liberty to place the matter before you. If Miss Lehand or Mack will let me know, I shall be happy to produce Mr Long and his clock any time and any place you mention. With the very best of best wishes, believe me Jack Sincerely Kelly Hon.
