Dear Mr. President: Through our good Senator, Tom W. Connally, of Texas, I am sending you an Electric Clock, the Dial of which I invented, and since your Declaration of War Time, have incorporated that also into the Dial. The Dial is designed to give the Time and relative times in the various Time Belts from the Pacific Coast to the Countries in and around the Mediterranean Sea. You will note the first four inside circles of the Dial has two sets of Figures: The large outline figures represent War Time in the four zones of America, and the smaller figures represent regular Standard Time. The figures in the four outer circles represent the equivalent of Standard Time in the various Countries indicated. I sincerely trust that you may find a use in your office or study for my clock, and that it will be of some benefit to you. I am preparing copies of the part of the Dial covering the United States, and will submit them very soon to the Army Air Corps, for use in all train- ing Aircraft, provided, it can be used to advantage. This, of course, without thought of compensation. I feel that if the dial can be used advantageously by the Air Corps, that I will have contributed justa little more to my Country. I have been selected to attend the Adju- tant's General School at Fort Washington, Maryland, and I trust that while I am there I shall have a chance to meet you personally. I am scheduled to arrive there for the B August Classes. With sincerest best wishes for your continued sucess in our Battle for Victory, I am Mosts Respectfully, Raymond E. Camon Raymond E.

Sir: I have the honor to refer to Despatch No. 118 of June 22 in which it was stated that the "Circulo de Simpatizantes de Gran Bretana y Naciones Aliados" (Club of Sympathizers with Great Britain and the Allied Nations) of La Paz was preparing a. parchment for dellivery to President Roosevelt. x The President of the Circulo called on me this morning and delivered the Scholl, which is transmitted under separate cover. In view of the fact that the Circulo is a spontaneous organization composed of those who genuinely desire victory for the Allied cause, I feel it would be appropriate in this case for it to receive a letter in reply signed by the President something which can be framed. There is transmitted herewith the original letter addressed to. the President, together with a list of the names of those who signed the scroll. Respectfully yours, Pierre de L.

January 2, 1942 Writes to Mr. Early to the effect that she has a painting which she would like to present to the President because she feels that at this time, especially, it would have an interest for him. The painting is of the Prime Minister's Cabinet Room at 10 Downing St; the work of Rankin who, the writer has been told "is ranked next to Walter Gay as a painter of interiors". Mrs. Chanler adds that another ex- actly similar painting by the same artist is in existence, and she has secured one of these. The subject of this picture is now a twin Cabinet Chamber to the one in the White House. Asks if she may have the honor of sending the páinting to the President. Under date of 1/13/42 Miss Tully wrote to Mrs. Chanler stating that the President would be perfectly delighted to have the painting of the Prime Minister's Cabinet Room at 10 Downing Street. See P.P.F. 3669 On September 24, 1942, Mr. John Goodrum Miller of New York wrote to Miss Tully, saying that he learned that Mrs. Chanler had sent a painting to the President and she had never received acknowledgment of same and as a lover of good paintings he would like to know if it was received.

PARK AVENUE LOMBARD, ILLINOIS September-3-1942 Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Commander in Chief Army, The White House, Washington, D.C. Dear Commander, When a busy man writes to an exceptionally busy man it behooves the busy man to be brief. I am mailing you today under separate cover an autographed copy of American Soldier Ballads. I believe that you will enjoy reading the contents. As Commander in Chief of our Army you will under- stand the soldier language used in compiling the various verses. If you can find the time some evening to read what I have written I feel sure you will 'savvy' ALL that is contained in the lines. If, after reading, you sincerely feel that my effort has been worth 12 while, I would be deeply appreciative, if you will write me a person- al letter, signed by your actual self, telling me just how the book appeals, so that I can plave it on the first page in the book now containing letters from commanding generals and Chaplains, whom I have met during my tour of our Army Camps. My only gon, Bill Jr. age I3 years, will eventually receive this book from his Dad and because he will, his failure to find a personal letter from the Commander in Chief of our Army, would be vastly disappointing to him, particularly so, when that Commander in Chief has been instru- mental in winning a smashing victory over ALL of the Axis powers. Major General Robert C Richardson, Jr., made it possible for me to B visit our Army Camps. At 60 years of age I am a bit too old to keep step with our REAL soldiers, but as a veteran of the First World War and a member of the American Legion, I am still ,in spirit ,one of them and you can rest assured that I will 'carry on' until vic- tory is assured.

Roosevelt President of the United States The White House Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. President: The Committee for National Morale, of which I have the honor to be President, has issued a publi- cation called "White Book of the United States Foreign Policy". This publication is being sold for 25¢ on news- stands throughout the country and its purpose is to pro- vide an over-all statement, in simple terms, of the rec- ord of the foreign policy of the United States for the past ten years. As with the other publications of the Committee, this is a non-profit making enterprise, the charge being sufficient merely to cover the expenses of publication and distribution. It is the belief of the Committee for National Morale that this book will provide for the average Amer- ican reader a strong, factual support for his faith in the justice of the cause in which he fights. It is our hope that it may in some measure serve to uphold your hands through the perilous days which lie ahead of us, days in which not only the people of this Republic but the free peoples of all the world must look to you for leadership. A specially bound personal copy of this book is being forwarded to you under separate cover and the mem- bers of the Committee join me in hoping that it will meet with your approval.
