My dear Mr. President:
Individual
Knowing how the South loves you, and how you love the South,
alabama 1936-
and since all Alabama was disappointed that you were unable to
accept our invitation on our recent hunt, Governor Bibb Graves
and I wanted you and your family to have a sample of the game
of Alabama and we are sending you this morning a white tailed
fourteen point buck (king of our woods) that Governor Graves
killed with one shot; also a turkey gobbler that I killed. Had
you been there I feel sure you would have bagged at least a
buck and several turkeys. In accordance with the understanding
at the conference with you, Governor Graves and Col. McIntyre
and myself, we are expecting to have the great pleasure of
having you with us next Fall. We will guarantee that you will
get not only a buck, but turkey, quail, dove, etc.
The deer and turkeys we are sending you were killed forty miles
north of Mobile on the Tombigbee River at McIntosh, Alabama,
where Aaron Burr was captured. The deer was bagged about a
quarter of a mile from the spot where the first courthouse in
Alabama was built. The gobbler was called by a former slave,
94 years old, Uncle Israel Reed, who has never left the place
except for short visits of a few days at a time. By living in
the outdoors and the sunshine of Alabama nearly every day, this
fine old darky outwalked all of the group of forty of us on the
hunt, and says he wants to live long enough to call a turkey
for his President. His turkey love call is so enticing that he
can make any gobbler leave his flock.
Sportsmen from all over the country agree that we have not only
unexcelled hunting, but that our fishing grounds in the Gulf of
Mexico, Mobile Bay and Perdido Bay are second to none in this
world or any other place. Knowing your prowess as a fisherman,
we want you to enjoy the fishing in our waters, and I feel
certain you will not fail to land a tarpon. We also have other game
fish of many other species.

I am sending you pictures of the twenty-one deer and nineteen

idea of what you may expect when you come to Alabama next Fall,
at which time there is no doubt but that you will get your buck,
turkeys, quail and various other kinds of game which we have to
offer in such abundance. The election will be over and you can
relax preparatory to your entering upon your second term.
With every good wish and

Dear President Roosevelt:
Please accept this small shipment of Lake
Pend d'Oreille Smoked Whitefish as a token on our
behalf. These fish were legalized for commercial
shipping by the Idaho Legislature in February, 1935.
Since that time they become more and more popular
and the demand has increased so that our supply is
continually exhausted.
You no doubt remember our lake from your last
trip thru here as being one of the largest fresh
water bodies in the United States. With best wishes
for 1936, we remain

and ask that you honor us and the Lone State State by serving
it on your table. When you have done SO please write us your

you can conscientiously give it, will be of inestimable value
to us and will cost you only a moment's time.

of Nature in many years, because of its high quality and unique
coloring. Noted citrus authorities concur with us in this belief
and predict that it will revolutionize the growing of fancy grape-
fruit in the country as soon as known.
Hoping that you and Mrs. Roosevelt will enjoy

and delighted to have it. Many thanks for your kind

My dear Mr. President:
End
I am taking the liberty of sending to you, a cane that
my great-grandfather, JOHN PERRINE carried during the "Rough & Ready"
campaign in 1848, and which was given him by General Zachary Taylor.
That slogan, which was to the voter of that day, significant of their
X1322
belief that Zachary Taylor had the interest of the comman man at heart,
was unquestionably a vital factor in his successful campaign. Your
sponsorship of that same class also makes you the idol of the American
people.
I have had the honor and the opportunity to be one of the
men who has been instrumental in carrying out your Civilian Conservation
Corps project, as I was detailed on this duty, two hours after you signed
the bill authorizing the CCC.
In the Reconditioning Camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky, where all
the boys from Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky were sent for
organization and equipment, I had over one hundred and forty thousand
new men go through the camp and over forty thousand men return through
the camp from service in the Ninth Corps Area. During this period I
have had an opportunity to observe the fine service that this great
project of yours has accomplished for both the young men and the natural
resources of The United States, and I can appreciate what YOUR being
President has meant to the country.
May my old cane do its little part toward supporting you
in another successful campaign, when it will be necessary to be "Rough
& Ready".
With all good wishes, I am

Dear President:
Sir, under a separate cover, you will recieve

struggles and the earnestness shown in behalf of the
American people.
This token apparently is a worthless

There is not a better way to put a nice

token to one of many Americans.

I am looking forward to listening to the Conventions,

As yet I have not voted but hope to be able to walk

I would like very much to attend a convention
and see just what takes place.
There are times when I get very blue and discouraged
but when I think of the courage shown by our President it helps
to drive away the blues. I hope to some time be able to consult
a specialist who can help me so that I can again walk. I am not
able to do so just now and my parents will not permit me to ask
for help from charity funds.
I enjoy listening to our President as he talks over the
radio. I am also interested in articles I read concerning his
stamp collection for I collect stamps as a pastime and like the
hobby very much.

Opposition to immediate change
in the existing, temporary neu-
trality legislation came meanwhile
from two sources. Spokesmen for
the "American Friends of Italy,"
an organization with members in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
lodged with the Foreign Relations
Committee a protest against pend-
ing bills.
In addition, Senator Thomas of
Utah, a member of the Foreign Re-
Intions Committee, has introduced
a resolution proposing a one-year
extension of the present Neutrality
Act. This legislation embargoes
shipment of arms and munitions to
belligerents, but does not authorize
the President to curtail shipment of
other "materials of war," such as
cotton and oil, as provided In pend-
ing bills.
