Dear Mr. President:
I am enclosing for your Hyde Park collection a

relic of this canine age, an antique pug dog.
G-D
Mr. H. C. L. Jackson, a columnist for the Detroit

striking resemblance between this dog and a well-known
jackal of Rome. I should be happy if you would see to
it that both of them are put on the shelf.
With best wishes,
Faithfully yours,

President of United States
Dear mr. Presidenk
Store.,T.
In ancient times it was customary for those
who sought a ruler's favor to present themselves
before him with such things of theirs as they
deemed worthy of his greatness. Thus we reach of
rulers and princes having been presented with
richly wrought armour splendid horses -precious
gems - such costly gifts being alone considered
fit to honor a prince.
Desiring in a like manner to approach the
foremost american of the age witha token of
admiration I am enclosing a pencil sketch of
that grand american Lady-your mother.
Drawn from a small picture which appeared
in the newspaper at the time of her death
d am aware of its eleficiencies as a partrait and
regret to have nothing better to give. yet d believe
your courtery will dispose you to accept it
in the spirit in which it is given.
Sincerely

My dear Mr. Alpert:
Thank you very much for your kind
letter of October fifteenth.
I am sorry that we cannot arrange
for Rabbi Bernstein to present the illuminated
hand -executed testimonial direct to the Presi-
dent as you request. The President is so
pressed for time during these extremely critical
days that, for some time past, I have been act-
ing on his behalf and receiving all gifts, testi-
monials, et cetera. If Rabbi Bernstein cares
to come to Washington and leave the testimonial
here in my office, I shall be glad to see him.
I will, however, await your further advice.
Sincerely yours,
EDWIN M. WATSON

Washington, D. C.
Dear Miss Le Hand:--
In December of 1938 you graciously acknowl-
edged receipt from me of photographs of a model of the
U. S. Ship portSMouth which I made here during the previous
three years. I hope that it has been an understood part
of the President's collection of navyana.
To that collection I would like very much to add a copy
of my book, BLUEJACKET, which is being forwarded under
separate cover. It may interest you personally to be
informed that all the characters in the book are represent-
ed in the carved figures of officers, men, and boys you
see engaged in work on deck and aloft on the photographs of
model of the U. S. S. PORTSMOUTH.
Very sincerely yours,
Chief Yeoman, U. S. Navy, retired

My dear Mrs. Bailey:
The President has received your letter
of October sixth, and was deeply touched by the
kind spirit of friendliness which prompted you
to make and send him that pair of socks.
It is interesting to note that you have
reached your seventy-eighth birthday and the Presi-
dent asks me to express the hope that good health
and happiness will go with you through the years
to come.
Very sincerely yours,
GRACE G. TULLY

size, and she is sending them under separate cover to Mrs. Boettiger.
