Dear Mr President:
With all your cares and all of your worries,
you are entitled to let down occasionally and forget the
problems of the world. Selling this war to the American
people and keeping the war sold to them is a tough prob-
lem and one, of course, in which you know we are trying
to help.
But forget it for a few minutes, when the copy
of "The Terrible Gustave Dore" arrives. It won't take much
of your time, but it is a limited printing job and I just
felt you might appreciate having it.
Take care of yourself!
Respectfully Executive Edgar Vice yours President Robak

My dear Mrs. Backlund:
Your letter to the President of
January seventh has been received, and I
do wish to assure you that your kindness
in writing as you did is much appreciated.
I regret that it will be im-
possible to arrange for you to present to
the President in person the small bronze
donkey which you wish him to have for his
birthday. The fact is that, since the begin-
ning of the war, we have had to ask the Presi-
dent's friends to excuse him from receiving
gifts in person, as the great number of de-
mands on him during these critical days makes
it so difficult for him to find the time for
engagements of this kind. I know you under-
stand, and will realize that it is not due
to any lack of interest on his part.
May 1 suggest that, if you will
mail the donkey in my care, I shall be glad
to see that it reaches him promptly with a
suitable word of explanation.
With all good wishes,

Dear President Roosevelt:
May I have the honor of congratulating you on your soon approaching birth-
day.
The day of your birth will be celebrated as a holiday not only by our own
great country but also by all those people who are fighting against the dark
forces destroying the world at the behest of Hitler - today's demon in human
guise.
The world is rent into two hostile camps and a fight is being waged - not
for life but for death. "In this war", said Hitler, "there will be no
victors and no vanquished. There will be left only the living and the dead".
In that macabre phrase the meaning of today's world-wide struggle is clearly
to be seen.

Although I realize that you may have

you in tribute to your well-doing for our beloved country, I
am sending you an embroidered and mounted flag with an
excerpt of your fighting speech of December, 1942 also
thereon, under separate cover, hoping that you may see it.
I am sending this to you as the mother of
a son serving his country and as a citizen of this fair
country. I spend a good deal of my spare time working with
the Red Cross to bring a little more cheer to our boys all
over the world and am happy to be able to do this.
With best wishes for your continued good
health SO that you may continue to lead us to an early and
victorious future.
Sincerely yours,
