Boston, Massachusetts.
My dear Miss Farwell:
Attached is & picture of a bronze plaque of President
Roosevelt designed by John De Stefano, a 19 year old boy who is a resident
of Boston.
The son of a poor Italian tailor, one of seven
younger children, it is believed by persons identified with the Boston
Museum of Fine Arts that young De Stefano possesses remarkable talent.
He won a full scholarship at the Museum two years ago and half a scholar-
ship this past year as the Museum was financially unable to award full
scholarships in some departments. He works in oils almost as cleverly
as he does in clay. Personally, John is a young man of excellent
character, much esteemed in Boston; he is a Catholic and a graduate of
the public schools of the city.
After completion of the plaque and the selection of
an appropriate motto "I shall hold my rudder true" by Seneca, money
for casting the plaque in bronze was subscribed by the Honorable
James M. Curley, Cav. Joseph A. Tomasello, John F. Fitzgerald and
Mr. Charles Pastene.
It is the wish of these gentlemen and myself, that
the boy be permitted to present the plaque to the President in the
White House at Washington, as a great aid to his obtaining a full
scholarship at the Museum this coming Fall.
No free advertising, or vulgar misuse of such a great
privilege would be made. We fully appreciate that we would not only be
sending the boy to give the bronze to our first citizen but to the first
gentleman of the United States as well and would govern our words and
actions accordingly.
I expect to bring letters from His Eminence,

Dear President Roosevelt:

"Looking At America".

As its title indicates it is
iv-
a study of the conditions and varied problems of our
id
beloved country. You are, of course, deeply interested
in these matters in themselves and perhaps you may think
y
that which I in my humble way have to say of them some-
what worthy of your attention. One of the subjects
treated is, of course, the "New Deal" for which the
country must be deeply grateful to you.
If you would be willing, kindly,
to favor me with some expression of your opinion of the
by
book I would appreciate it very greatly.

My dear Mr. Diana:
Miss Le Hand has referred to me your
letter of June seventh as I arrange all appoint-
ments. Since the beginning of the Administration
I have acted on behalf of the President in receiv-
ing all gifts. As this policy has been followed
consistently, it is obviously difficult to make
any exceptions, nor would it be fair to the many
others who have made similar requests and whose
gifts have been conveyed to the President through
me.
I will be glad to receive the luncheon
set at any time convenient to you, or you can,
if you wish, send it to me through the mail or by
express and I will convey it to the President with
a suitable word of explanation.
Sincerely yours,

Miss M. A. LeHand
Private Secretary to President Roosevelt
Washington, D. C.
Dear Miss LeHand:-
I am taking the privilege of writing to you directly as I
have received a number of communications in reference to President Roosevelt
through you. Since January 30, 1932 I have had the pleasure to send our
President a gift as a token of my esteem and affection for him. Last
September I wrote to my nièce in Italy asking her to make a linen luncheon
set, all handwork, for President Roosevelt for his birthday in 1934.
Due to the fact that such work takes months to complete, it
was impossible for me to send to the President this gift. I have just re-
ceived the luncheon set which I have been informed has been much admired
in my native country. I would like very much to present this gift to
President Roosevelt if he will be SO kind as to grant me a few minutes of
his valuable time, at a time and place most convenient for him. I believe
that the President remembers me as on October 9, 1932 I conferred with him
at his Hyde Park home. At that time he told me that if he were elected
President he would be very happy to have me call at the White House.
If the President desires to see me in company with some of
his personal friends I feel sure that I can ask the Attorney General,
Mr. Cummings or Senator Lonergan to accompany me. I trust that you will
arrange for me to see the President and wish to thank you very sincerely
for your kind assistance.
Respectfully yours
Pietro Diana

This sketch was made up by a young fellow 23 years old who
has been lying in bed steadily for the past two years with
tuberculosis. He has never taken a drawing or art lesson of
any kind, and his ability to turn out similar sketches came
about naturally since he entered the hospital for treatment.
The sketch was made by him without the advantage of being
able to sit up while making same.
It has been his desire that it be sent to you. His name is
Henry M. Damian, Room 70, M.S.C., J. N. Adam Memorial Hospital,

greatly enjoy receiving an acknowledgment of same.

My Dear Mr. President:-
One month ago today, you and your party of travelers arrived in Port-
land, Oregon, and since Oregon is one of the twenty-one states in which
Safeway Stores are serving the public in a modern way, we have recounted
your visit in the September number of our house-organ, "Uno Animo."
This publication is circulated monthly to our more than sixteen thousand
employees in twenty-one states, Canada and the Hawaiian Islands. It also
goes to the leading universities and the main newspapers in the above
territory.
We of the West appreciate your interest in our Western developments for
we are individually and collectively proud of our territory and confident
of its potentialities. We hope that you will enjoy the article on Page 4
of the enclosed number and may we hope that you will give us a letter of
acknowledgment and approval so that we may reprint your letter in an early
number, for the enjoyment of the sixteen thousand alert, ambitious young
men and women who carry on their chosen work under the banner of Safeway
Stores.
Other items of interest in this number are:
Page 1
Outline of employees voluntary association.
Pages 2 & 3
....
Our Washington, D. C. executive.
Page 6
Our Farmer-Consumer Benefit Campaign on Beef.
We realize you are a busy man, but young people look to thoughtful leader-
ship for inspiration and encouragement in these rather stressful times, so,
in their behalf, we would deeply appreciate the courtesy of your comment.
Faithfully yours,

The Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt
The White House
Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. President:
At the request of my friend the author,
Mr. Hyacinthe Dubreuil, I am sending you under another cover
an autographed copy of "Les Codes de Roosevelt" which may in-
terest you.
Mr. Dubreuil is associated with the Labor
Office of the League of Nations and for many years was Secretary
General of the French Confederation of Labor Unions. He is a
skilled tool maker. About ten years ago he put in a year or
more working in American shops in order to familiarize himself
Book
with the American techniques of work. He is a bit of a philoso-
pher and enthusiastically approves of mechanization as a means
of liberating the working classes from drudgery. A description
of this first hand view of American industry was published by
Harper's under the title "Robots or Men".
It occurs to me that this present book -
"Les Codes de Roosevelt" - would be useful to anyone trying to
reach a conclusion as to how the codes as drawn and administered
impinge on the essential interests and rights of labor. Please
do not bother to acknowledge.
Yours very sincerely,
Marrid Booke,
MLC-m
