Washington, D. C.
Dear Miss LeHand,
In talking to Fulton Oursler the other day we both agreed
that President Roosevelt would probably love to read John Stein-
beck's new novel, "The Grapes of Wrath." I do not remember ever
sending him any books except his own "Government Not Politics,"
which I published, you may remember, before he was nominated for
Presidency for the first time.
Under separate cover a copy of "The Grapes of Wrath"
is being mailed to you and I do hope you will find it convenient
to bring it to the attention of the President. Although the
book won't be published until April 14th we already have heard
from a good many literary critics and many of them said that
"The Grapes of Wrath" is the most significant piece of fiction
ever published in America.
Thanking you very kindly, believe me
Yours respectfully
Passallovia

Dear Mr. President:
On April 30, 1789, New York was host to the na-
tion when George Washington was inaugurated as President of
the United States, in the Federal Hall which then stood at the
corner of Wall and Nassau Streets in the City of New York.
The population of the United States was then less than four
million. This year, the City is host to the world at the New
York World's Fair which opens on the one hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of Washington's inauguration.
The century and a half which has passed since
that memorable date has added lustre to Washington's achieve-
ments and new significance to the event. We have tried to re-
create something of the spirit and atmosphere of the New York
of 1789 in a small book called "Wall and Nassau," a copy of
which is being forwarded to you under separate cover. I hope
you will find it of interest.
When you visit the New York World's Fair, please
let us do anything we can to add to your pleasure.

Dear Mr. President:
Noting your leaning toward Frankfurters and Roll
for summer consumption, and thinking a portable device for serv-

This can be used any place where current is avail-
able- in the house or on a lawn, and has a capacity of at least
350 an hour, on a low current consumption.
I hope you will be sufficiently interested to have
it tested and am sure you will find it does a better job than
any other way of serving frankfurters. There is nothing to wear
out and it will last indefinitely.

My dear Mrs. Chinnock:
Reference 1s made to your letter
of June eighth to Mr. McIntyre, forwarded by
him to the White House for consideration, in
which you ask that, if possible, a thirteen
year old Boy Scout be permitted to present a
set of pewter to the President at the time of
his visit to Asheville.
Frankly, I doubt very much whether
the rigid schedule, which must necessarily be
followed by the President in order to complete
his program, would permit of a personal presen-
tation. However, if it is agreeable to David,
we will endeavor to arrange for one of the
Secretaries to receive the set for the President.
I will advise you further just as
soon as plans for the visit to Asheville are
more definite.

Dear Mr. President:
Due to Mr. Carter's absence from
the state it has been impossible to make up our list
and send watermelons to all of the friends he usually
remembers with such. However, he telephonedme from
Colorado Springs to be sure and send you a watermelon
despite this situation.
I hope the melon arrives in good
condition. If you will have it placed on ice for
four or five days it will be more appetizing.

Dear Mr. Carson:

The President has asked me to acknowledge
your letter of October thirteenth and to thank you
for the complimentary copy of your booklet, "How
Well Do You Know Your America?".
Your thoughtfulness in sending the copy of

the booklet to the President is greatly appreciated

but I must advise that because so many publications
are submitted to the President he has had to adopt
a policy not to comment upon any of them. This, -
am sure you will understand, does not indicate any
lack of interest on his part, the rule being dictated
by the President's desire to treat all of his friends
on a basis of equality without favoritism. 1 an sure
you will understand his position and will excuse him.
Very sincerely yours,

Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt
President of the United States
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. Roosevelt:
If ever there was a time for good Americans to ex-
change ideas, it surely is now.
With this thought, I am enclosing a complimentary
copy of my new booklet, How Well Do You Know Your
America?
This booklet, widely circulated and read, should
greatly benefit American Employes, the American
Family, American Industry and American Business.
That is why I feel that I may, not improperly, ask
you for your comments.
I am not, please make note, a member of any pressure
group, propaganda league, or any other organization
concerned with special pleading. I planned and edi-
ted How Well Do You Know Your America?, entirely as
a "rugged individualist"
I believe that a copy of this booklet should be in
the hands of every employe, high school and college
student, teacher, newspaper editor, executive, and
labor leader in America.
What do you think? I will appreciate your courtesy
in replying, and will not use your name in any way,
unless you give me permission to do SO.
Sincerely Yours,
Archie Gaston

Please accept the President's thanks

booklet and wants you to know how appreciative he
is of your thoughtfulness and of the word of com-

Dear Mr. President:

MHITE
Being in Washington, in connection
with
the State Department's conference upon 39 inter-
American relations in the field of the ats,
I am taking the opportunity to leave at
your door a booklet which I have long
intended to transmit to you. , believe
that it may, in its small way, interest
you, since it touches upon one of your
leisure-time hobbies and at the same time
concerns what we of the art world believe
should be a minor duty of the Government.
In any case it is self-explanatory.
I have the deepest admiration for
many of the services you have accomplished
in a difficult time.
Very sincerely yours
To Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Sheldon Cheney
President of the United States.

Sends wire to the President saying that after spending Sunday with
James G. McDonald, has no hesitancy in saying that in McDonald the Jewish people
have their greatest Christian friend second only to the President himself. ----
The President, Oct. 10th, wrote Mr. Canter saying he had received his wire just
before his conference with James G. McDonald, the Selicitor General, and a few
others. The President said he agreed with Mr. Canter that Mr. McDonald is a friend
of the Jewish people and he (the President) is glad to have Mr. McDonald with him
in trying to work out a solution to this difficult problem.
