P.P.F. then Press 9B with Referring to my letter of June 27 to you regarding the presentation to President Roosevelt of a mounted tarpon from the St. Petersburg Tarpon Club when a bunch of our boosters, under the leadership of Mr. W. 4. Kenmuir, and accompanied by our Moses band, shall reach Washington, and your reply of July 3, I beg to inform you that this outfit is now en tour and is scheduled to arrive in Washington Sunday evening, September ten, and to depart Monday evening, September eleven, which would fix the date of the ceremony as September eleven; but, if found advisable for any reason, they could remain over Tuesday the twelfth. The fish is being shipped to Mr. Nelson Poynter, Business Manager of the Washington News, who will keep it in hand ready for instant use upon call. Now, Senator, a little matter of official etiquette. While this trip was organized by Mr. Kenmuir as a St. Petersburg advertising tour with our band, personally I am in doubt whether the band would properly belong in the picture with the President; it occurs to me that yourself and also other Florida representatives and friends, newspaper scribes, etc as would naturally be present would present a picture more dignified and suitable than the other plan. I am submitting this point to you for decision; if you think the Kenmuir plan all right, then it is all right with me, and if you think otherwise then some date other than September eleven or twelve would seem a solution. We are all very anxious to have this little performance go through, and personally I am anxious that it be done in the right way, and no other. Won't you please let me hear from you at your earliest convenience, as the time is getting short. Sincerely yours, w.L. Stranbx President, St. Petersburg Tarpon Club. St. Petersburg Times ST.

In this shipment we put a package partially addressed to you--not knowing where you would be when the car reached destination--with the request that our represen- tative, Mr. Leon N. Stoecklin, complete the ad- dress and send it on to you. We, however, in- structed him to inspect the package to ascertain if it had arrived in good condition prior to for- warding as the variety--Girdled Thompson Seedless-- sometimes does not carry well. The shipment is due to arrive on September 7th and your package should reach you either the 8th or 9th. Incidentally a small news item in one of our local papers states that you are partial to grapes and we trust that these will be enjoyed by you and the members of your household. If a repeat order is desired just have your secretary drop us a note and we will be most happy to fill it. We anticipate another shipment the end of next week of the same brand.

Dear Sir: I trust that I'm not trespassing on your good natured Time now as when I asked permission to see the President; for I will always be glad to know he is well;and do tell him to take care of himself, for his own and the Countrys sake. There never before in the history of the world was an executive, be he King Emperor, Tzar, Prince, President or Pope who had courage comparable to our President: probably he does not realize how esteemed he is by the people of this and other countries. I am sending to your address a couple of pieces of glassware made in Swissvale an eastern suburb of this city, and that you Rive them to the First Lady of the Land, with my best wishes, I had intended larger and better ones, but they quit making such a few years ago, as the Big Stores would not even pay the CO cost of making. However when I get down to Flemington New Jersey, to the Fulper Pottery, one of the oldest in this countryI'll surely find something worth while sending to her. Once speaking to the President of a Trenton Pottery I asked Why the stores had so much foreign ware, but no native products; he said the buyers preffered atrip to Europe where it and Asiatic ware was so much cheaper. d There is Ritsy ware made in this country, backe up by the socialy elite, that half its retail price, is spent in advertizing it in the popular magazines as the only artistic ware made in this country.

Dear Mr. LeHand: I have your letter of Sept. 21st, and am very glad that the President received my gift, and I trust and hope it may be of some value to him. I realize that the President undoubtedly receives thousands of gifts, especially in view of the fact that his many endeavors have achieved such a remarkable degree of success. I, therefore, tried in a small way to make my little token unique, and hope that I succeeded. My ambition was to receive an acknowledgment signed by the President, not for any personal gain or publicity , but merely as 9 Keepsake to be handed down to my children, - in short, as a family heirloom. However, I realize how deeply engaged in matters of State the President is, and that this might not be possible.

Looking over some old newspapers I came across the article See Loss of Dr. Philip Fox as Head of Planetarium, in The Chicago Daily News, Thursday, March 7, 1935. As I read it the thought came to me, to write you and tell you, that the oil painting sent to you last year by Mrs. Luellyn Brent, from Chicago, Illinois. was in reality the gift from Lydia Dunham Fabian, the artist, who is a cousin to Dr. Philip Fox. All things have their rightful place on this beautiful planet of ours. Why you received the oil painting as you did and why I am now writing you has a meaning all of it's own. So in the Hands of Him who knows all things, I leave what I have written herein. Wishing you and yours the best ever. Most sincerely, Jown toronting (Mrs.) Dept 13333 NOFGB P.P.7.

Dear Mr. Roosevelt: I am taking the liberty of sending you my latest book in the hope that it may perhaps be more than the passing of an hour or two of such time as you might care to give it. In the first place I should like you to enjoy the little story of so long ago. But, in the second I have tried to make practical the thing that has been said over and over since 1928 - "If Francis of Assisi could walk through the streets of America today, he'd bring peace and the vision he brought to Italy under precisely the same conditions of over abundance, and disorganize poverty in the 13th Century." Through my hero's and heroine's eyes I've tried to show him visiting the classes of his day, and making quite clear the situation between the rich and poor of them - - capital and labor today. The problems of our country are our problems. We've had our feet on American soil since 1635 and we feel we must uphold the arms of our President in order to restore that peace and security for which we were for so long an example to other worlds.

Local government will have to be adapted to existing relatives. The county incubus in New York City is only the most striking example of this anachronism in modern political life. The facts are admirably presented by Professor Bromage ("American County Government." By Arthur W. Bromage. Holston House. $3.) M. H. Mo INTYRE Mr. Finegan gives us a thoroughly up-to-date Assistant Secretary analysis of Tammany Hall and its operations in State and city politics ("Tammany at Bay." By to the President James E. Finegan. Dodd, Mead & Co. $2.). It is a very valuable supplement to the histories of Tammany Hall by Myers and others. It is especially valuable in destroying the myth of the "New Tammany" discovered by Al Smith, Walter Lippmann and others. Incidentally, Mr. Finegan completely wipes the ground with the once pleasant fiction that Mr. McKee might serve as the "great white hope" of the anti-Tammany cause. Mr. McKee has apparently obtained just about the sort of posi- mwd tion for which his talents fitted him. An important phase of the reconstruction of city government may be the growth of the municipal home-rule movement. Just now this tendency has suffered a marked decline in ex- uberance and popularity. What its future will be, only time can tell. Dr. McGoldrick has brought out a scholarly supplement to the standard work on the subject by Professor Mc- Bain, of Columbia University ("Law and Prac- tice of Municipal Home Rule: 1916-1930." By Joseph D. McGoldrick. Columbia University Press. $4.50). It measures up thoroughly to the high standards set by the original volume, and has the additional advantage of having been written by a man technically trained in law and with thorough practical knowledge of the problems of municipal government.
