Hon. James A. Farley,
Postmaster General,
3 East 84th Street,
New York City, N. Y.
Dear General Farley:
At the suggestion of my brother, Raymond J. O'Sullivan, and
with my compliments, I am enclosing two (2) copies of a monetary
treatise, written back in 1908 by my now deceased Father, recently
reprinted with a new title and a foreword by the writer.
I come with no conceit, General, when I declare that my
esteemed Father, who consumed a life-time in the study of money,
and its application to peoples, undeniably had come to know con-
siderably more than most men of his time. The book has stood
up for more than a quarter of a century.
When revising it all that was necessary was to change the
tense. It is now prepared as a text-book. A great part of the
"Q" and "A" was the work of my Father and I have added to it with
material he left with me. Incidentally, all, not some, but all
of the various points now raised about gold and silver, and their
employment as moneys, are discussed and answered in that portion
of the book. The book is devoid of tables. We make no claim
to continuity but we do claim a sequence for the book.
Here, General, is a Monetary Bowdich which furnishes a truer
course; meanwhile, while not scoffing at the theories of other
men, furnishes answers to a majority of the questions now raised
by the Felix Frankfurters, the Dr. Spragues the Alfred E. Smiths
and others. And the book plows deeper into the subject of Social
Justice than our esteemed loveable radio speaker at Detroit. I
say that respectfully, for the crusade he has started will interest
thinking men for decades to come.
If it is not an imposition on your time and energies, may I
say that I will appreciate it if you will personally see that the
enclosed extra copy reaches our distinguished President, with the
suggestion he be not startled by the title. A glance at the
-2-
book's index may furnish him with some very interesting material
in the days before him. Say to him that I tender the book as
a true American.
With Ray's best wishes as well as my own, I am,
Respectfully yours,
/s/ Arthur J. O'Sullivan

As a fellow collector I trust you
will bear with me in asking for an inscription
in my copy of "Looking Forward".
Like Oliver Twist, I know of no
collector who does not ask for more, the "more" in
this instance being a desire to know whether the
famous expression "New Deal" did not come from
Mark Twains' "Connecticut Yankee".
Twain used
the same words when he disapproved of the way
King Arthur was running the government, recommending
a "new deal".
I do hope you will think one with
the temerity to ask an inscription on such a
silly subject is deserving of one-especially in
a first edition.

The women of Ohio County, West Virginia,
Sewing Projects are most appreciative of the interest
you have taken to formulate and continue our program.
This work, for the past year, has enabled
them and their families not only to have the necessities
of life, but it has been the means of raising their morale,
and an incentive to bring out their creative ability.
The rugs which we are sending you, by
parcel post, were designed and made by them during their
educational hours from materials which had been donated.
The "Eleanor Roosevelt" rug is carried
out in our State colors of gold and blue, the rhodedendron,
as you know being West Virginia's flower.
With the very best of good wishes to you
and your family for a Happy Christmas and a continuation of
your successful Administration, we are,
