Lakefield, Minnesota, May, 10, 1933. Dear President Roosevelt,- I inclose short clipping from couple Iowa papers (Daily), showing that the farmers of both Minnesota and Iowa demand the resignation of Mr. Wallace, who received your appointment as Secretary of Agriculture. I have been a democrat ever since I got the Post office under Cleveland's Administration and have been very active in politics ever since. While I have lived in Mason City, Ia, for a num- ber of years, I have many business interests in Minnesota connected with agriculture, and wish to state that Frank W Murphy of Wheaton, Minn., is so well and favorably known to all farm organizations, especially in the Northwest, that his appointment would have been looked upon with great favor by all farm interests, much more so I believe, than Mr. Wallace. Read sent Zo the they, I am also mailing you a complimentary copy of the last book I wrote on the subject of "life". If you should find time to read any of it, you might find it interesting.

Dear Mr. Roosevelt:- I am sending you today a copy of my new book entitled 'Vitamins and Diets'. This gives Recid is in a small volume the known facts on this subject and my conclusions after studying over five thousand cases of chronic disease in relation to diet. 1 am sure that much chronic disease could be prevented and the lives of middle aged persons could be doubled by attention to correct diets. Please read the book and study it. I have worked several years on it and while the conclusions may seem revolutionary I am sure that as far as our present facts are concerned they are correct. The job to be done in putting America on a correct diet is by far the biggest job in the country today. My good friend Arthur Mullen has a copy of the book and will talk to you about it. I want to organize a group with a charter from Congress or a committee with a presidental appointment to study chronic disease and disseminate information on this subject. I know you are friendly to scientific medical progress. Right here lies the opportunity to do a great good. Respectfully Yours L.T.V.Juigley Juigley Dr. D.T. Quigley. MEMO: FOR MRS.

I want to express my thoughts in this regard now, rather than later, as in the course of events I might be called to Gods' Kingdom, and I would feel sorry if I had delayed what the Lord our Beloved Saviour directed me to do.

If my wish were granted, it would be the happiest day of my life. Insofar as my reputation is concerned, enclosed please find letters from people who know me since I have been in the United States, and also copies of recommendations from concerns where I have worked in this beloved country.
