to let you know that your
about five hours, and in
that time, we caught a little better than five hundred pounds
of Totuava. They widighed from one hundred to one hundred and
forty pounds.
We found that the Self-setting Trap Hook was far more
reliable and accurate than the other hooks, and we could depend
upon this hook almost every time to land a fish. However, as
our time was limited, we could not stay out any longer in order
to give the various hooks a rigid test, to find out the weak
points.
Everyone that we came in contact with were without a
doubt very much impressed, and we could have sold thirty or more
sets if we could have had them with us.
We showed these hooks to the Federal Fish and Game
Commissioner of Mexico and he spent considerable time analysing
them for weak points in the construction and theory and in every
instance, the hooks stood his every test.
The day we were at Guaymas, there was about ten fishing
boats out, beside ours, and there were only two fish caught by the
other boats, and we caught four alone. We are planning another trip in
in the near future and will again put these hooks to the thest.
Accompanying this letter, you will findfour (4) snap
shot pictures of the fish that we caught, and on this next trip
we will try to get some real action pictures for you.
Thanking you for the use of the hooks and wishing you
success in their manufacture, and when you get ready to market
this product, if I can be of any assistance to you, it will be
a pleasure.

Dear President Roosevelt:
We have just completed a survey of our subscription lists for the former
Britannica supplement entitled "The World Today" and have found that your
subscription to the magazine is among those which have been prematurely
terminated due to discontinuance of the publication in favor of the new
Britannica Book of the Year.
The Book of the Year, conceived by our editors as a more effective means
of imparting to Britannica a greater present day usefulness with the pass-
ing of time, is identical in purpose with "The World Today." The volume
is devoted to the presentation of significant facts and information, sta-
tistical or historical, on events and affairs which occur during the twelve
months of the year preceding its publication, and the treatment accorded all
subjects within its pages is of the same editorial excellence incorporated
in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. In supplanting "The World Today" with
the Britannica Book of the Year, our editors are endeavoring to satisfy a
great need on the part of Britannica owners for a consolidated record of
current happenings that will serve as a more convenient, accessible and
permanent method of keeping Encyclopaedia Britannica abreast of the times.
The 1938 Book of the Year, which is being sold at a cost of $10.00 per
copy throughout the country, is comprised of nearly 800 pages and over
500 illustrations; in size the book is of the same dimensions as a single
volume of Britannica. Knowing that you are desirous of keeping your set
up to date and, also, being eager ourselves to compensate you for that por-
tion of your unexpired subscription to "The World Today," we are arranging
for a copy to be sent you without additional charge.
We trust that the Encyclopaedia Britannica Book of the Year not only serves
to adjust satisfactorily your incomplete subscription, but also to enlist
your approval of the publication as a supplement to Britannica.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. McIntyre:
One hesitates to take up a busy man's time
with matters of little importance when
there are so many things of an imperative
nature pressing on him. But I trust you
will forgive me this time.
One of President Roosevelt's many admirers
in Georgia has carved a ring for him out of
a bone with a pocket knife. The attached
letter will give you the details. If
Mr. Beusse could have a letter from someone
in Washington thanking him, I know it would
be treasured all the rest of his days. Do
you think he could?
Thank you SO much.

My dear Mr. President:-
I am taking the great liberty of sending you, enclosed, a
copy of "The Compleat Angler By Izaak Walton" which has for many years
been a cherished possession of mine and which I have read with great
pleasure many times.
This fascinating little volumn can no longer be of service to
me as I am more than eighty years old, and blind. My days for both
fishing and reading have passed; so that now I feel that no more
intense satisfaction could come to me than to pass it on to the greatest
fisherman of our day, and no greater honor could be bestowed upon me
than to have it accepted by the greatest President in the history of
our Country.
Most sincerely and respectfully,
Your loyal admirer,
