Roosevelt\nWashington, D. C.\nMy dear Mr. Roosevelt:\nIt has been six years since I have written you a line.\nHowever, the personal letters I received from you while\nyou were Governor of New York, I appreciate highly.\nMany times, during the past trying years, my friends\nin Alabama have requested me to write to you concerning\nvarious matters. Proir to this time, I have not written\nsince you have been President, for the simple reason that\nI conscientiously felt I had not one single suggestion\nto make that would be worth taking up one moment of your\nvaluable time. YOU ARE ON THE JOB.\nFully realizing that you have just sixty minutes in eahh\nhour, and only so many working hours a day, I have refrainèd\nfrom writing since you have occupied the White House,\nI have often stated publicly that you are making the\nbest President that your environment will allow you to make.\nYou are standing to the rack nobly. Weaker men would have\nfallen long ago.\nApropo your letter of October 16th 1931 in which, among\nother things, you said: \"It is a great encouragement to one\nwho tries to do his best in public office, to feel that he\nhas won the good opinion of men like yourself, these lines\nare typed.\nSo, if it will do your heart any good for me to say to\nyou at this critical time, that my humble opinion is that,\nall angles weighed, no man in all history has made a greater\nleader than you; then you have the sincere statement,\nMy words to you September 16th 1931: \"Your neighbors\nbelieve in you; the nation will,' 11 read like prophesy now.\nALFRED L. REEVE\nProspector.\n2\nThe nation does believe in you. Even the tools of self-\nish interests, who are sticking pins in you, believe in you.\nBut, the American people will continue, not only to believe\nprevail. in you, but also, to BE WITH you; and RIGHT will ultimately\nUnder seperate cover, I am sending you one of my recent\nlittle books, indulging the hope that you may find something\nin it of interest to you.\nHoping that you have fully recovered from your recent\nslight indisposition, and praying God's blessings for a\ncontinuance of your health, physical and otherwise, I remain\nas ever,\nSincerely your friend,\nSterling Raberts\nALFRED L.

C.\nDear Mr. Secretary of State,\nAm very pleased that The President, yourself, and\nMiss LeHand liked the first Coronation Silver Dollar\nin the world. I am doubly repaid when I know they gave\nyou a little pleasure, and I do hope they will always\nremind you of your President's and your own visit to\nCanada in as (H.M. King George VI said in His Christmas\nRadio Message) \"This unforgettable year.\"\nAnd now am enclosing clippings, snapshot, and\nBritish coins. For The President, yourself, and\nMiss LeHand. This 12 sided coin, 1st time a British\ncoin would stand on Edge. Being recalled and no more\nminting I believe, because they were using them for\ngas meters instead of shillings, one coin, a Scotch\nshilling. The English shilling is not out yet I\nbelieve.\nI just think it well for The busy men you are to\nhave a moment of relaxation. Hence my sending this to\nyou. With a story of Napoleon, as told to me by my\nFrench companion during the Arctic Winter, where we\ncaught the sea salmon, on Coronation Gulf, named so by\nSir John Franklin in 1821 Coronation Year of H.M. King\nGeorge IV. Two of our great north men, Henry Hudson\nand Sir John Franklin.\nReading of The President's great liking for\nfishing, if I were to loan you a water color of the\nmost northerly fish in America, to show him, I hope\nyou would not think me forward. It is so rare that I\nam sure you will be glad to see it, and I will get a\ngreat pleasure in loaning it to you.\nPlease thank The President for his New Year\nGreetings and may I say to you Mr. Secretary of State\nmany Happy New Years to The President, The Vice\nPresident, The Secretary of State and The Cabinet.\nSincerely and most Respectfully\nYours\nALFRED L. REEVE\nProspector.\n45-32:20-25\nA STORY OF NAPOLEON\nOne day during his heyday, Napoleon was riding with\na few courtiers through the south of France.\nComing to a small town, and seeing the large church\nand across from it the priest's residence, with rather an\nunusual sign, Napoleon dismounted from his horse and\nwent in.\n\"Are you the parish priest?\"\n\"Yes sir.\"\n\"I am going to ask you three questions, and I will\nrequire an answer when I return in about three days time.\nMy first question--be sure you have an answer, if not\nyou may pay dearly for it--perhaps your life--My first\nquestion is: How high are the heavens? My next: How\ndeep is the sea? My third: You will be able to tell me\nwhat I am thinking about. II With this he turned about\nand out and away.\nThe priest, rather frightened, went out to see his\nfriend, the miller. He told him the story. The miller\nlaughed, \"Don't worry. = The priest suggested that the\nmiller come over and take his gown and meet Napoleon,\nand meantime he would go into the country. \"All right,\"\nsaid the miller, and the change was made.\nIn due time Napoleon returned and entered, saying\n\"Have you an answer to my questions?\"\n\"Well! Try me !\"\n\"How high are the heavens?\"\n\"One look\" said the priest.\n\"Very good\" said Napoleon. \"How deep is the sea?\"\n\"As far as a stone will sink.\"\n\"Very good\" said Napoleon. \"Now tell me what I am\nthinking.\n=\n\"You think\" said the priest \"That you are talking\nto the parish priest. You are not--you are talking to\nthe miller.\"\n45-32-20-25\nADDRESS OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS TO\nTHE SECRETARY OF STATE\nWASHINGTON, D.C.\nDEPARTMENT OF STATE\nWASHINGTON\nIn reply refer to\nFebruary 11, 1938\nPR\nMy dear Miss LeHand:\nReference is made to your memorandum of December 31,\n1937, concerning the silver dollars recently sent to\nthe President, the Secretary of State and to you, by\nAlfred L.
